Focal length equivalents & field of view#
Multiply any focal length by 6.03 to get the full-frame field of view. For fixed-lens cameras use the real focal length printed on the lens (e.g. “6.1–18.3 mm”), not the 35 mm equivalent.

Depth of field table#
Total depth of field at each subject distance, using a circle of confusion of 5.0 µm (the 0.030 mm full-frame standard scaled by the crop factor).

Equivalent aperture#
Exposure is identical at the same f-number on any format; equivalence only describes depth of field and total light.
Diffraction & pixel pitch#
With 2.24 µm pixels, diffraction starts to soften pixel-level detail around f/3.3. For maximum sharpness keep landscapes between f/2.8 and f/3; stopping down further trades detail for depth of field.
| Aperture | Airy disk diameter | Spread over | At 100% view |
|---|---|---|---|
| f/2.8 | 3.8 µm | 1.7 px | sharp |
| f/4 | 5.4 µm | 2.4 px | slight softening |
| f/5.6 | 7.5 µm | 3.4 px | visibly soft |
| f/8 | 10.7 µm | 4.8 px | visibly soft |
| f/11 | 14.8 µm | 6.6 px | visibly soft |
| f/16 | 21.5 µm | 9.6 px | visibly soft |
| f/22 | 29.5 µm | 13.2 px | visibly soft |
Maximum print sizes#
At 5.1 MP the Fujifilm FinePix S5200 produces 2,592 × 1,944 pixel images. See the 5 megapixel guide or the print size calculator.
| Resolution | Typical use | Inches | Centimetres |
|---|---|---|---|
| 300 DPI | Photo-lab quality | 8.6 × 6.5 in | 22 × 16 cm |
| 240 DPI | Fine-art inkjet | 10.8 × 8.1 in | 27 × 21 cm |
| 200 DPI | Wall print | 13.0 × 9.7 in | 33 × 25 cm |
| 150 DPI | Poster, viewed from 1 m+ | 17.3 × 13.0 in | 44 × 33 cm |
Night-sky exposure limits#
Longest exposure before stars trail. The NPF rule accounts for pixel pitch and is stricter than the classic 500 rule — use it for pin-sharp stars on high-resolution sensors.
| Focal length | 500 rule | NPF f/1.8 | NPF f/2.8 | NPF f/4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 mm (24 mm eq.) | 20.7 s | 32.5 s | 41.3 s | 51.8 s |
| 5 mm (30 mm eq.) | 16.6 s | 26.0 s | 33.0 s | 41.4 s |
| 6 mm (36 mm eq.) | 13.8 s | 21.7 s | 27.5 s | 34.5 s |
| 7 mm (42 mm eq.) | 11.8 s | 18.6 s | 23.6 s | 29.6 s |
| 8 mm (48 mm eq.) | 10.4 s | 16.3 s | 20.6 s | 25.9 s |
Handheld shutter speed guide#
The reciprocal rule uses the equivalent focal length. High-resolution sensors may need one stop faster than this for pixel-sharp results.
| Focal length | No stabilisation (1/equiv. focal) | With 3-stop IS | With 5-stop IBIS |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 mm | 1/25 s | 0.3 s | 1.3 s |
| 8 mm | 1/50 s | 1/6 s | 0.6 s |
| 17 mm | 1/100 s | 1/13 s | 0.3 s |
| 33 mm | 1/200 s | 1/25 s | 1/6 s |
Lens#
The Fujifilm FinePix S5200 has a built-in, non-interchangeable lens. Use the real focal length of that lens with the tables above; its full-frame equivalent is that number × 6.03.

What size is the Fujifilm FinePix S5200 sensor?
5.8 × 4.2 mm (1/2.5"), an area of 24 mm² — 3% of full frame.
Is the Fujifilm FinePix S5200 full frame?
No — its sensor is 1/2.5", which is 35.3× smaller in area than full frame.
How many megapixels does the Fujifilm FinePix S5200 have?
5.1 megapixels (2,592 × 1,944 pixels), enough for a 9 × 6 inch print at 300 DPI.
How long can I expose the night sky with the Fujifilm FinePix S5200?
With a 5 mm lens (30 mm equivalent) the 500 rule gives 17 s and the stricter NPF rule at f/2.8 gives 33 s.
