What it frames

The Fujifilm GFX Eterna 55 with the Fujifilm GF 32-90mm T3.5 PZ OIS WR, over a 1.75 m person in a street, with a door, a parked car and buildings. 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 Medium format (44 x 33) sensor (43.8 x 32.9 mm) has a crop factor of 0.79, so the dashed frames are marked with the focal length that gives the same view on it.

32mm on the Fujifilm GFX Eterna 55 frames 6.84 m × 5.14 m at 5 m: like 25mm on full frame, 69° across.

The subject is 5 m away; things behind it are drawn smaller, as the camera sees them.

Depth of field: what is acceptably sharp, wide open and at f/8, focused on the subject.

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.
