Note: Picture angle approx. 1.5x lens focal length Lens angle of view does not change; lens perspective and reproduction ratio at a given distance and aperture is identical to when the lens is used on a 35mm SLR; the difference in viewing is a result of the smaller dimensions of the CCD compared to that of 35mm film. In effect, the image is cropped according to the CCD format.
Usable lenses with built-in Speedlight 20mm to 300mm CPU lenses Vignetting occurs at the edges of the frame resulting in underexposure with the following zoom lenses, which have limitaitions in usable focal length or shooting distance. AF-S 17-35mm f/2.8D IF-ED: 24mm focal length at 0.8m or longer shooting distance. AF 20-35mm f/2.8D: 20mm focal length at 1.0m or longer shooting distance.
