12q Camera Characteristics
1
Before Using Your Camera
•Features a 23.5×15.7 mm CCD with 6.1 million effective pixels for high precision and a wide dynamic range.
•Features Shake Reduction (SR), an image sensor shifting shake reduction system. This enables you to capture sharp pictures with minimal camera shake regardless of the lens type.
•Features an AF sensor with 11 focusing points. The central 9 are wide area cross sensors.
•Features a viewfinder similar to that of a conventional 35 mm camera, with a 0.85× magnification and 96% field of view, for easier manual focusing. Also features a superimpose function in which the AF points on the viewfinder illuminate red.
•Uses
•Features a large
•Features a Digital Preview function for checking the image to ensure that the desired result is achieved.
•A
The captured area (view angle) will differ between the qand 35 mm SLR cameras even if the same lens is used because the format size for 35 mm film and CCD are different.
Sizes for 35 mm film and CCD
35 mm film | : 36×24 mm |
qCCD | : 23.5×15.7 mm |
Angles of view being equal, the focal length of a lens used with a 35 mm camera must be approximately 1.5 times longer than that of q. To obtain an angle of view framing the same area, divide the focal length of the 35 mm lens by 1.5.
Example) To capture the same image as a 150 mm lens attached to a 35 mm camera
150÷1.5=100
Use a 100 mm lens with the q.
Inversely, multiply the focal length of the lens used with qby 1.5 to determine the focal length for 35 mm cameras.
Example) If 300 mm lens is used with q 300×1.5=450
Focal length is equivalent to a 450 mm lens on a 35 mm camera.
