Aperture (f-number) to Equivalent aperture (f-number, DoF basis) for Smartphone 1/1.3" class

Snapshot

On Smartphone 1/1.3" class, f/5.6 corresponds to about f/21 on a full-frame depth-of-field basis. Conversion Encyclopedia keeps the same sensor profile across the calculator, common values, and reverse page for this page.

  • Sensor profile: Smartphone 1/1.3" class (9.6 mm width, crop factor 3.75).
  • Example: For 1.4 Aperture (f-number), this corresponds to 5.25 Equivalent aperture (f-number, DoF basis) on Smartphone 1/1.3" class.
  • Use the reverse page if you need the opposite direction with the same basis.

Explanation

Formula: equivalent_f = f_number x 3.75. Why: this page keeps Smartphone 1/1.3" class fixed, so crop factor and sensor width stay explicit for every calculation.

Smartphone 1/1.3" class: a sensor profile with crop factor 3.75 and sensor width (horizontal) 9.6 mm, used as the fixed framing basis for this page.

Aperture (f-number): a camera-equivalence quantity in this family that depends on the selected crop model.

Equivalent aperture (f-number, DoF basis): a camera-equivalence quantity in this family that depends on the selected crop model.

This route is useful when you know the actual lens aperture on Smartphone 1/1.3" class and want the full-frame depth-of-field equivalent.

This page is sensor-profile dependent rather than universal because camera equivalence changes with sensor geometry (Smartphone 1/1.3" class).

Method & Sensor Profile

  • Sensor basis: Smartphone 1/1.3" class profile with crop factor 3.75 and sensor width 9.6 mm.
  • Profile reference: focal-length and aperture equivalence use the same crop model, while angle-of-view routes use the same fixed sensor width geometry.
  • Consistency rule: forward and reverse pages keep the same sensor profile; only the formula direction changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which sensor assumptions are fixed for aperture f-number to full-frame equivalent f-number?

Aperture f-number to full-frame equivalent f-number is fixed to Smartphone 1/1.3" class, crop factor 3.75, sensor width 9.6 mm.

How do I reverse f to eq f for Smartphone 1/1.3" class?

Use the opposite-direction page for Smartphone 1/1.3" class to convert equivalent aperture (f-number, dof basis) back to aperture (f-number) with the same sensor assumptions.

Can aperture f-number to full-frame equivalent f-number replace full lens-design simulation?

No. Aperture f-number to full-frame equivalent f-number provides framing and geometry approximations, not full optical-model behavior.

Does equivalent f-number change exposure?

No. Equivalent f-number here is for depth-of-field comparison only. Exposure (light transmission) does not change.
