| Item | Formula / Rule | Source / Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Conversion formula | Equivalent focal length = actual focal length × crop factor, the factor being 43.27 ÷ sensor diagonal | ISO 12231:2012 Photography — Vocabulary |
| Common factors | Full frame is 1.0, APS-C 1.5 (1.6 for Canon), M4/3 2.0 and 1-inch 2.7 | ISO 1007:2000 Photography — 135-size film and magazine |
| Perspective invariance | The crop factor changes the angle of view only, not perspective, which depends on camera position | ISO 12231:2012 Photography — Vocabulary |
