Crop factor
The ratio between sensor size and full-frame, affecting field of view.
What is crop factor?
Crop factor indicates how much smaller a camera sensor is compared to full-frame (35mm). APS-C sensors have ~1.5x crop factor, meaning a 50mm lens acts like 75mm. Understanding crop factor helps choose appropriate lenses for product photography.
