What is DX crop factor?
“Crop factor” is the ratio of the sensor size to 35mm / full-frame (see below). For example, Nikon’s “DX” cameras have a crop factor of 1.5x, so if you take a 24mm wide-angle lens and multiply it by this number, the result is 36mm.
Does DX mean crop sensor?
Any smaller sensor than 35mm format is known as a crop sensor (including DX). FX format cameras use the 35mm format and are known as full frame cameras. Because of a smaller image sensor, a DX camera and lens system is able to capture a smaller area of image (as compare to an FX camera), known as the crop factor.
Is DX same as APS-C?
The Nikon DX format is an alternative name used by Nikon corporation for APS-C image sensor format being approximately 24×16 mm. DX format is very similar in size to sensors from Pentax, Sony and other camera manufacturers. All are referred to as APS-C, including the Canon cameras with a slightly smaller sensor.
What does a crop factor of 1.6 mean?
For example, a 28 mm lens delivers a moderately wide-angle FOV on a 35 mm format full-frame camera, but on a camera with a 1.6 crop factor, an image made with the same lens will have the same field of view that a full-frame camera would make with a ~45 mm lens (28 × 1.6 = 44.8).
Is 75mm good for portraits?
Wide apertures are key to portrait photography because they throw the background into a pleasing blur that helps draw the viewer’s attention to the in-focus subject. On an APS camera, the 50mm is the equivalent of a 75mm, which is an ideal focal length for portraits. Not bad for a small, lightweight lens.
Is DX full frame?
The DX-format is the smaller sensor at 24x16mm; the larger full frame FX-format sensor measures 36x24mm which is approximately the same size as 35mm film. The DX designation can be found in the lens name, i.e. AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED.
What does DX mean?
diagnosis
Dx: Abbreviation for diagnosis, the determination of the nature of a disease.
Is DX format full-frame?
Is APS-C full-frame?
A full-frame lens is roughly equivalent to a 35mm frame of film, while an APS-C sensor is a little bit smaller. This means your camera’s APS-C-size sensor magnifies the scene to produce an image that will match the lens’s full-frame image circle.
Is DX full frame on Nikon?
Nikon makes a DX-format sensor and an FX-format sensor. The DX-format is the smaller sensor at 24x16mm; the larger full frame FX-format sensor measures 36x24mm which is approximately the same size as 35mm film. DX cameras with smaller sensors are optimized for corresponding DX lenses.
What is a 1.5 crop factor?
A standard APS-C sensor (Fuji, Sony, Nikon DX) has a 1.5x crop factor, meaning if you divide the diagonal length of a full frame sensor by that of an APS-C sensor, you get about 1.5 (Micro Four Thirds has a 2x crop factor).
