Here are a few things you need to know: Nikon refers to digital cameras that have the same size sensor as film as FX. Since then we've gotten more. Nikon refers to digital cameras that have a smaller-than-film sensor as DX. The FX frame is 1. The Z50 mirrorless camera is also DX. Lenses are designed with an imaging circle that covers a particular capture area, either FX or DX. All Nikkor lenses prior to the introduction of the D1 other than the ones for the short-lived APS film bodies have an imaging circle that covers the FX sensor size.
Lenses introduced after the introduction of the D1 that are marked DX have an imaging circle that covers the DX sensor size, though some of those may also cover the FX sensor size at certain focal lengths. Focal length is focal length. Both DX and FX lenses are marked with their actual focal length.
That's because serious photographers may need to use the actual focal length in calculations, such as for depth of field. Angle of view is different for the same focal length on DX and FX. But the angle of view covered for the scene being photographed is smaller on the DX camera, as the sensor is smaller. Sometimes for convenience we cite equivalent focal lengths. Indeed, just divide the actual FX focal length by 1. Thus, if you use a 28mm lens on an FX camera and want to shoot the same angle of view on a DX body, you need an 18mm lens.
We multiply in this case because the DX sensor is cropping the angle of view compared to the larger FX sensor. Again, the 1. DX or FX? There are SLR cameras with full-frame sensors and some with a crop factor. At Nikon cameras with full-format sensors are marked with FX, e. Here is a little comparison:. The biggest difference is that an FX sensor allows you to take photos with higher ISO values and the noise behavior is better than DX cameras.
The decisive factor here is the larger sensor. Higher ISO values are welcome wherever there is poor light and long exposure times are not possible. A good example of this is weddings. Everyone or at least many know the following situation. You have an entry-level SLR camera DX format that takes halfway passable photos and your friends will ask you whether you could please photograph the wedding. After a while here, you agree and the sleepless nights begin. Below are 3 methods of how you can take photographs, for example, at a wedding, and what experiences we have made with DX and FX formats over the years.
You can also work with low ISO values in combination with the flash in poor lighting conditions. Unfortunately, direct lightning has its negative side effects.
Here are 2 examples for a better understanding. These photos are from the wedding of a couple who are friends. What you can see very clearly here is the shadow in the background of the bride and groom. The bridal couple is also continuously illuminated by the flash and the natural lighting mood is suppressed.
Here is a photo without an additional flash for comparison. Unfortunately, it is not exactly the same recording as we did not have time to reproduce it during the wedding, but at least it should help to show the differences. By omitting the flash, the natural lighting mood can be used and there are no hard shadows in the background.
The darker background can also be an advantage because then you emphasize the really important — the bride and groom — even more, but the following photo was taken with a Nikon D shows again what is possible with natural light:. Of course, it always depends on which lenses you use.
The only thing to say here is that you should — as far as possible — invest your money in high-speed lenses with a continuous aperture of f1.
We ourselves like to take pictures with aperture 4 on such occasions when we want to photograph individual people. Especially in combination with the Nikkor f2. Here you can avoid whole high ISO values by gently flashing.
Since the main motif in this case a bride and groom, for example is usually in the dark, you then light it up moderately with the flash you can use the TTTL capability of the flash — this is called flash compensation. Everything in M mode, of course…. You can then refine the whole thing in such a way that, for example, you can use a styrofoam sheet or the blanket to bounce.
Setting up a styrofoam plate in the church is also rather difficult. In the registry office it can look completely different again at least as far as bouncing is concerned. For this, the FX cameras have taken another step in development. There is, of course, no crop factor present with the FX sensor with an FX or full frame lens. And here's why. Each lens is designed to cast an image circle on the camera's sensor.
The circle cast by a DX lens is smaller and corresponds to the size of a DX sensor. Non-DX lenses cast a larger image circle corresponding to an FX-format sensor. On an FX-format camera with a DX lens mounted, the camera will automatically engage its built-in DX crop mode, thus recording an image only from the center section of the sensor.
