Sensor size compared#

The Nikon Coolpix P60 sensor (highlighted) drawn to scale against common formats. Its area is 3% of a full-frame sensor, which collects about 4.9 stops less total light at the same exposure.

Focal length equivalents & field of view#

Multiply any focal length by 5.62 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.

Aperture on this camera	Full-frame equivalent (depth of field)	Hyperfocal at 8 mm
f/1.2	f/6.7	10.00 m
f/1.4	f/7.9	8.57 m
f/1.8	f/10.1	6.67 m
f/2	f/11.2	6.00 m
f/2.8	f/15.7	4.29 m
f/4	f/22.5	3.01 m
f/5.6	f/31.5	2.15 m
f/8	f/45.0	1.51 m

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. (NPF needs a known resolution and is omitted here.)

Focal length	500 rule
4 mm (22 mm eq.)	22.2 s
5 mm (28 mm eq.)	17.8 s
6 mm (34 mm eq.)	14.8 s
7 mm (39 mm eq.)	12.7 s
9 mm (51 mm eq.)	9.9 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
9 mm	1/50 s	1/6 s	0.6 s
18 mm	1/100 s	1/13 s	0.3 s
36 mm	1/200 s	1/25 s	1/6 s

Lens#

The Nikon Coolpix P60 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 × 5.62.
