Field of View Calculator

Calculate horizontal, vertical and diagonal angle of view from sensor size and focal length.

About this tool

A photography field-of-view calculator. Enter sensor format and focal length to compute horizontal, vertical and diagonal angle of view, optionally including scene width and height at a given distance.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate field of view?

Angle of view is 2 x atan(sensor dimension / (2 x focal length)). The tool reports horizontal, vertical and diagonal FOV.

Can I use a custom sensor size?

Yes. Provide sensor_width= and sensor_height= in millimeters to override the named sensor.

How do I estimate scene width at a distance?

Add distance= in meters and the tool converts the FOV angle into scene width and height at that distance.
