What it frames
The Sony ZV-1 II with its built-in 6.9-18mm f/1.8-4 lens, over an 8.5 m tree and a 1.75 m person, with hills behind. Everything is drawn to scale: the solid frame is what the camera takes in, the dashed ones are 24, 50 and 135mm on full frame from the same spot. Its 1-inch sensor (13.2 x 8.8 mm) has a crop factor of 2.7, so the dashed frames are marked with the focal length that gives the same view on it.
6.9mm on the Sony ZV-1 II frames 38.3 m × 25.5 m at 20 m: like 19mm on full frame, 87° across.

How it is worked out
The frame at a distance is distance × sensor size ÷ focal length, across and up; the angle of view is 2 × atan(sensor size ÷ (2 × focal length)). Depth of field uses the thin-lens formulas: the hyperfocal distance H = f² ÷ (N × c) + f, the near limit s(H − f) ÷ (H + s − 2f) and the far limit s(H − f) ÷ (H − s), sharp to infinity from H on, with a circle of confusion c of the sensor diagonal ÷ 1500 and, on a zoom whose aperture changes, the maximum aperture taken linearly between its ends. These are for a rectilinear lens; a fisheye takes in more. Ask for this page with Accept: application/json for the numbers alone.
