Angle of view

The angle of view switches to the equivalent of full frame or APS-C/Super 35mm, depending on the setting for [APS-C/Super 35mm] and the attached lens. The angle of view is also different for still image shooting and movie shooting.

Angle of view equivalent to full frame

(B) When recording movies


The camera shoots with an angle of view equivalent to full frame in the following situations.

  • [APS-C/Super 35mm] is set to [Auto], and a full frame shooting-compatible lens is attached.
  • [APS-C/Super 35mm] is set to [Off].

(B) When recording movies


The camera shoots with an angle of view equivalent to the APS-C size or Super 35mm in the following situations. The angle of view becomes approx. 1.5 times the focal length indicated on the lens.

  • [APS-C/Super 35mm] is set to [Auto], and an APS-C-format dedicated lens is attached.
  • [APS-C/Super 35mm] is set to [On].

Note

  • When recording full-frame movies with [File Format] set to [XAVC S 4K] and [Record Setting] set to [30p 60M] or [30p 100M], the angle of view (B) is equivalent to approx. 1.2 times the focal length indicated on the lens.
