A Calculating Angle of View
The size of the area exposed by a 35mm camera is 36 × 24 mm. The size
of the area exposed by the D7500 when DX (24×16) is selected for
Choose image area in the photo shooting menu, in contrast, is 23.5 ×
15.7 mm, meaning that the angle of view of a 35mm camera is
approximately 1.5 times that of the D7500 (when 1.3× (18×12) is
selected, the size of the area exposed decreases, further reducing the
angle of view by about 1.3×).
