Focal length equivalents & field of view#
Multiply any focal length by 0.69 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.

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 40.28 µm pixels, diffraction starts to soften pixel-level detail around f/60.0. For maximum sharpness keep landscapes between f/33.0 and f/60; stopping down further trades detail for depth of field.
| Aperture | Airy disk diameter | Spread over | At 100% view |
|---|---|---|---|
| f/2.8 | 3.8 µm | 0.1 px | sharp |
| f/4 | 5.4 µm | 0.1 px | sharp |
| f/5.6 | 7.5 µm | 0.2 px | sharp |
| f/8 | 10.7 µm | 0.3 px | sharp |
| f/11 | 14.8 µm | 0.4 px | sharp |
| f/16 | 21.5 µm | 0.5 px | sharp |
| f/22 | 29.5 µm | 0.7 px | sharp |
Maximum print sizes#
At 1.6 MP the Kodak Charmera produces 1,440 × 1,080 pixel images. See the 2 megapixel guide or the print size calculator.
| Resolution | Typical use | Inches | Centimetres |
|---|---|---|---|
| 300 DPI | Photo-lab quality | 4.8 × 3.6 in | 12 × 9 cm |
| 240 DPI | Fine-art inkjet | 6.0 × 4.5 in | 15 × 11 cm |
| 200 DPI | Wall print | 7.2 × 5.4 in | 18 × 14 cm |
| 150 DPI | Poster, viewed from 1 m+ | 9.6 × 7.2 in | 24 × 18 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 mm (14 mm eq.) | 36.4 s | 63.6 s | 65.3 s | 67.4 s |
| 29 mm (20 mm eq.) | 25.1 s | 43.8 s | 45.0 s | 46.5 s |
| 35 mm (24 mm eq.) | 20.8 s | 36.3 s | 37.3 s | 38.5 s |
| 51 mm (35 mm eq.) | 14.3 s | 24.9 s | 25.6 s | 26.4 s |
| 73 mm (50 mm eq.) | 10.0 s | 17.4 s | 17.9 s | 18.5 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 35 mm | 1/25 s | 0.3 s | 1.3 s |
| 73 mm | 1/50 s | 1/6 s | 0.6 s |
| 146 mm | 1/100 s | 1/13 s | 0.3 s |
| 291 mm | 1/200 s | 1/25 s | 1/6 s |
Lens#
The Kodak Charmera 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 × 0.69.
Frequently asked questions#
What is the crop factor of the Kodak Charmera?
The Kodak Charmera has a crop factor of 0.69× relative to 35 mm full frame (diagonal 63.0 mm vs 43.3 mm).
What size is the Kodak Charmera sensor?
58.0 × 24.5 mm (58.0 × 24.5 mm), an area of 1421 mm² — 164% of full frame.
Is the Kodak Charmera full frame?
No — its sensor is larger than full frame (medium format).
How many megapixels does the Kodak Charmera have?
1.6 megapixels (1,440 × 1,080 pixels), enough for a 5 × 4 inch print at 300 DPI.
How long can I expose the night sky with the Kodak Charmera?
With a 29 mm lens (20 mm equivalent) the 500 rule gives 25 s and the stricter NPF rule at f/2.8 gives 45 s.
