Camera Sensor Sizes

This lesson shows you how various camera sensor sizes (35mm, APS-C, Micro 4/3, etc.) affect lens focal length, f-stops, resolution and noise. There's a great spreadsheet included that makes doing conversions easy which is useful when comparing different camera and lens combinations.Note: The downloadable spreadsheet that comes with this lesson has been compressed into a .zip archive. That means you'll have to double-click on it after downloading to extract its contents before attempting to view the spreadsheet. The file that ends in .numbers can be opened using Apple's Numbers spreadsheet, while the file that ends in .xlsx can be opened in Microsoft Excel. If you have neither of those programs, then you should be able to import the Excel file into Google sheets online spreadsheet. A quick google search should be all that's needed to figure out how to open the excel file in that online program.

NOTE: Some Windows users have reported issues accessing the video playback controls. While we're working on the issue, here's a Temporary Workaround: Click "Introduction" in the table of contents to the right of the video and then immediately click within the video to give it focus. After doing so, use the spacebar to play/pause the video and the left/right arrow keys to scrub forward or backward within the video.
