Calculating Angle of View
The D4 can be used with Nikon lenses for 35 mm (135) format cameras.
If Auto DX crop is on (
0 85) and a 35 mm format lens is attached, the
angle of view will be the same as a frame of 35 mm film (36.0 × 23.9 mm);
if a DX lens is attached, the angle of view will automatically be adjusted
to 23.4 × 15.5 mm (DX format).
To choose an angle of view different from that of the current lens, turn
Auto DX crop off and select from FX (36Ч24), 1.2Ч (30Ч20),
DX (24×16), and 5 : 4 (30×24). If a 35 mm format lens is attached, the
angle of view could be reduced by 1.5 × by selecting DX (24×16) or by
1.2 × by selecting 1.2Ч (30Ч20), to expose a smaller area, or the aspect
ratio could be changed by selecting 5 : 4 (30×24).
