Focal length equivalents & field of view#
Multiply any focal length by 1.30 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 24.00 µm pixels, diffraction starts to soften pixel-level detail around f/35.8. For maximum sharpness keep landscapes between f/19.7 and f/36; stopping down further trades detail for depth of field.
| Aperture | Airy disk diameter | Spread over | At 100% view |
|---|---|---|---|
| f/2.8 | 3.8 µm | 0.2 px | sharp |
| f/4 | 5.4 µm | 0.2 px | sharp |
| f/5.6 | 7.5 µm | 0.3 px | sharp |
| f/8 | 10.7 µm | 0.4 px | sharp |
| f/11 | 14.8 µm | 0.6 px | sharp |
| f/16 | 21.5 µm | 0.9 px | sharp |
| f/22 | 29.5 µm | 1.2 px | sharp |
Maximum print sizes#
At 1 MP the Kodak DC3200 produces 1,152 × 864 pixel images. See the 2 megapixel guide or the print size calculator.
| Resolution | Typical use | Inches | Centimetres |
|---|---|---|---|
| 300 DPI | Photo-lab quality | 3.8 × 2.9 in | 10 × 7 cm |
| 240 DPI | Fine-art inkjet | 4.8 × 3.6 in | 12 × 9 cm |
| 200 DPI | Wall print | 5.8 × 4.3 in | 15 × 11 cm |
| 150 DPI | Poster, viewed from 1 m+ | 7.7 × 5.8 in | 20 × 15 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11 mm (14 mm eq.) | 34.9 s | 71.2 s | 74.4 s | 78.2 s |
| 15 mm (20 mm eq.) | 25.6 s | 52.2 s | 54.5 s | 57.3 s |
| 18 mm (23 mm eq.) | 21.3 s | 43.5 s | 45.4 s | 47.8 s |
| 27 mm (35 mm eq.) | 14.2 s | 29.0 s | 30.3 s | 31.9 s |
| 38 mm (49 mm eq.) | 10.1 s | 20.6 s | 21.5 s | 22.6 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18 mm | 1/25 s | 0.3 s | 1.3 s |
| 38 mm | 1/50 s | 1/6 s | 0.6 s |
| 77 mm | 1/100 s | 1/13 s | 0.3 s |
| 154 mm | 1/200 s | 1/25 s | 1/6 s |
Lens#
The Kodak DC3200 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 × 1.30.

Frequently asked questions#
What is the crop factor of the Kodak DC3200?
The Kodak DC3200 has a crop factor of 1.30× relative to 35 mm full frame (diagonal 33.2 mm vs 43.3 mm).
What size is the Kodak DC3200 sensor?
27.6 × 18.4 mm (APS-H), an area of 510 mm² — 59% of full frame.
Is the Kodak DC3200 full frame?
No — its sensor is APS-H, which is 1.7× smaller in area than full frame.
How many megapixels does the Kodak DC3200 have?
1 megapixels (1,152 × 864 pixels), enough for a 4 × 3 inch print at 300 DPI.
How long can I expose the night sky with the Kodak DC3200?
With a 15 mm lens (20 mm equivalent) the 500 rule gives 26 s and the stricter NPF rule at f/2.8 gives 55 s.
