Q 35/50mm crop


Recommended Posts

I am not sure I follow the distinction you are making between a crop of the image and a sensor crop. If by a sensor crop you mean only part of the sensor is activated then the answer is no. The JPEG output is a cropped down version of the 28mm image but the RAW (DNG) output is still the complete full frame at 28mm. The cropped JPEG of course still has all the visual characteristics (e.g. perspective) of a 28mm lens.

For portraits, I choose the 50mm perspective then can touch up the crop in post. There is insane detail in the RAW so I can even zoom in to an 85mm with acceptable detail (not like using 85/1.4 but ok for Facebook)

Hello all, 

 

 Wanted to know is the 35mm and 50mm crop a crop of the image (taken at 28mm then cropped) or a sensor crop (basically operating like a APS-C camera) ?

 

 

There would be no difference in the image quality... but the Q takes the full image and crops the 35mm from this full image. The RAW file is always a 28mm (ca. 26mm in reality) image, only JPG files are cropped.

But isn't it true that the Q only measures the cropped frame? Thus metering should be more accurate than with a later crop.

 

Not sure since the entire frame seems to always be exposed properly even when the jpeg is cropped.  

I often shoot with DNG & JPEG so that I can download a JPEG onto my iPhone to transmit unedited images, then have the RAW for post processing.
