seyahmit Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Is there a way to use the exif data from an image to calculate the correct lens and FOV for a max camera? Sure would take one more variable out of camera matching. -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelp Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 You need to calculate the FLM (focal length multiplier) and multiply that number to the focal length provided in the exif data. FLM = (diagonal of 35mm film) / (diagonal of sensor) Diagonal of 35mm film = 43.3mm Diagonal of sensor = dependent on the digital camera See these links: http://www.dpreview.com/learn/?/Glossary/Camera_System/Sensor_Sizes_01.htm http://www.dpreview.com/news/0210/02100402sensorsizes.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realt Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 this may be too basic, but some people don't know that most digital cameras store the fl the shot was taken at in the jpg properties under advanced (right click on the file and hit properties) you can use this to convert accurately the fl the shot was taken at using the data for your camera (some are 7mm-18mm for example) but have a 35mm equiv (35-80 say) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
