Picture Angle and Focal Length
The D3S can be used with Nikon lenses for 35mm (135) format cameras.
If Auto DX crop is on and a 35mm format lens is attached, the picture
angle will be the same as a frame of 35mm film (36.0 × 23.9 mm); if a DX
lens is attached, the picture angle will automatically be adjusted to
23.5 × 15.6 mm (DX format).
To choose a picture angle 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 35mm format lens is attached, the
picture angle 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).
