BATTLETECH FLASHPOINT PROTOTYPE FULL
So, a 50mm is a 50mm on full frame (that’s why we buy FF, so that we don’t have to worry about calculations anymore haha!),

The standard format currently being the FF, it is considered that the focal lengths indicated on the lenses are the “real” focal lengths when they are mounted on this sensor format.As the calculations on the angles of the field of view are more complicated to assess, we tend rather to convert the focal lengths as follows: Thus, it becomes necessary to perform a conversion. The same applies for lenses with the same focal length on different sized sensors. Basically, a smaller sensor obviously does not cover the entire field of view of a larger sensor. The different sensor sizes require some mathematical juggling to convert the fields of view of the lenses. But we’ll come back to this later in this article. Obviously, depending on the surface of the sensor and the number of photosites, these will be more or less large, which will have an impact on the image quality.
BATTLETECH FLASHPOINT PROTOTYPE ISO
With the digital, these sensors have allowed to gain a lot of comfort, such as the possibility to increase ISO sensitivity where film cameras were more limited, to shoot photos AND videos, to retrieve digital files read directly by the camera or by a computer, etc… The sensor consists of a number of photosites which are sorts of light-sensitive cells which, to put it simply, correspond to the number of pixels. To put it simply, it is the sensitive surface that will capture (hence its name) the light sent by the lens. Although this format is a little less popular and avoids the APS-C/FF war (for Full Frame), it has some advantages and deserves its place in the hierarchy.īefore we start, let’s remind ourselves what a sensor is.

Over the past 10 years or so, another format has made its appearance with some mirrorless cameras, the Micro 4/3. Before the introduction of mirrorless cameras, DSLRs were the kings in this field and mainly proposed two sensor sizes: APS-C and Full frame sensor. When considering buying an advanced camera with interchangeable lenses, the choice of the camera sensor size is inevitable.
