What is the photography equation?

In photography, this equation governs the fundamental relationship between the scene, the camera, and the captured image: Image brightness ∝ Scene illumination × Subject reflectivity × Lens aperture area × Shutter open time × ISO sensitivity .

What is F 1.8 camera?

F1. 8 is a wide opening, letting lots of light in and giving a fast shutter speed. This creates a shallow depth of field where only one part of a photo is in focus. F22, on the other hand, creates a narrow opening for light, slowing the shutter speed and keeping most everything in your shot in the same relative focus.

What is the formula for FOV?

You can calculate the FOV using the formula: 2 x the tangent of ½ the angle x distance. You can measure (and “map out”) the practical FOV with a quick field test to check your math!

How do you calculate pinhole camera?

The f-number of the camera may be calculated by dividing the distance from the pinhole to the imaging plane (the focal length) by the diameter of the pinhole. For example, a camera with a 0.5 mm diameter pinhole, and a 50 mm focal length would have an f-number of 50/0.5, or 100 (f/100 in conventional notation).
