Calculating Angle of View
The camera can be used with Nikon lenses for 35 mm (135) format
cameras. If a 35 mm format lens is attached, the angle of view will be the
same as a frame of 35 mm film (35.9 × 23.9 mm).
If desired, the
Image area
option in the photo shooting menu can be
used to choose an angle of view different from that of the current lens. If
a 35 mm format lens is attached, you can reduce the angle of view by
1.5× or 1.2× by selecting
DX (24×16)
or
1.2× (30×20)
to expose a
smaller area, or change the aspect ratio by selecting
5 : 4 (30×24)
. The
sizes of the areas exposed by different
Image area
options are shown
below.
