SwitchExplanation
Formula: focal_mm = 17.3 / (2 x tan(HFOV/2)). Why: this page keeps Micro Four Thirds 17.3mm fixed, so crop factor and sensor width stay explicit for every calculation.
Micro Four Thirds 17.3mm: a sensor profile with crop factor 2 and sensor width (horizontal) 17.3 mm, used as the fixed framing basis for this page.
Horizontal angle of view (degrees): a camera-equivalence quantity in this family that depends on the selected crop model.
Focal length (mm): a camera-equivalence quantity in this family that depends on the selected crop model.
This route is useful when you know the target horizontal framing angle and need the focal length required on Micro Four Thirds 17.3mm.
This page is sensor-profile dependent rather than universal because camera equivalence changes with sensor geometry (Micro Four Thirds 17.3mm).

Frequently Asked Questions
Which sensor assumptions are fixed for horizontal angle of view (degrees) to focal length mm?
Horizontal angle of view (degrees) to focal length mm is fixed to Micro Four Thirds 17.3mm, crop factor 2, sensor width 17.3 mm.
How do I reverse deg to mm for Micro Four Thirds 17.3mm?
Use the opposite-direction page for Micro Four Thirds 17.3mm to convert focal length (mm) back to horizontal angle of view (degrees) with the same sensor assumptions.
Can horizontal angle of view (degrees) to focal length mm replace full lens-design simulation?
No. Horizontal angle of view (degrees) to focal length mm provides framing and geometry approximations, not full optical-model behavior.
