Calculating Angle of View

The D750 can be used with Nikon lenses for 35mm (135) format
cameras. If

Auto DX crop

is on (

0

111) and a 35mm format lens is

attached, the angle of view will be the same as a frame of 35mm film
(35.9 × 24.0 mm); if a DX lens is attached, the angle of view will
automatically be adjusted to 23.5 × 15.7 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)

, and

DX

(24×16)

. If a 35mm 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.

The

DX (24×16)

angle of view is about 1.5 times smaller than the

35mm format angle of view, while the

1.2Ч (30Ч20)

angle of view is

about 1.2 times smaller. To calculate the focal length of lenses in
35mm format when

DX (24×16)

is selected, multiply the focal length

of the lens by about 1.5 or by about 1.2 when

1.2Ч (30Ч20)

is selected

(for example, the effective focal length of a 50mm lens in 35mm format
would be 75 mm when

DX (24×16)

is selected or 60 mm when

1.2Ч

(30Ч20)

is selected).
