Focal length equivalents & field of view#

Multiply any focal length by 1.53 to get the full-frame field of view. Angles are for a rectilinear lens focused at infinity.

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 4.82 µm pixels, diffraction starts to soften pixel-level detail around f/7.2. For maximum sharpness keep landscapes between f/4.0 and f/7; stopping down further trades detail for depth of field.

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions#

What is the crop factor of the Fujifilm X-M1?

The Fujifilm X-M1 has a crop factor of 1.53× relative to 35 mm full frame (diagonal 28.3 mm vs 43.3 mm).

What size is the Fujifilm X-M1 sensor?

23.6 × 15.6 mm (APS-C), an area of 368 mm² — 43% of full frame.

Is the Fujifilm X-M1 full frame?

No — its sensor is APS-C, which is 2.3× smaller in area than full frame.

How many megapixels does the Fujifilm X-M1 have?

16 megapixels (4,896 × 3,264 pixels), enough for a 16 × 11 inch print at 300 DPI.

What lens mount does the Fujifilm X-M1 use?

The Fujifilm X-M1 uses the Fujifilm X-mount (flange distance 17.70 mm).

How long can I expose the night sky with the Fujifilm X-M1?

With a 13 mm lens (20 mm equivalent) the 500 rule gives 25 s and the stricter NPF rule at f/2.8 gives 19 s.
