On focal lengthThe picture angle of this camera is 
narrower than that of a 35 mm-format 
film camera. You can find the 
approximate equivalent of the focal 
length of a 35 mm-format film camera, 
and shoot with the same picture angle, 
by increasing the focal length of your 
lens by half.
For example, by using a 50 mm lens, 
you can get the approximate equivalent 
of a 75 mm lens of a 35 mm-format 
film camera.
