A Calculating Angle of View
The D600 can be used with Nikon lenses for 35mm (135) format cameras. If Auto DX crop is
on (0 90) 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).
If a 35 mm format lens is attached, the angle of view can be reduced by 1.5 × by turning Auto
DX crop off and selecting DX (24×16).
The DX (24×16) angle of view is about 1.5 times smaller than the 35mm format angle of
view.
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 (for example, the effective focal length of a
50mm lens in 35mm format would be 75 mm when DX (24×16) is selected).
