Some Theory
Formulas for 1/3 inch chip cameras
- To get focal length of your optic:
Distance to object (m) * 4,8 / Object width (m) = focal length (mm)
- To get width coverage in meter of your optic:
Distance to object (m) * 4,8 / focal length (mm) = Object width (m)
With this patch you can calculate your optic for several chip sizes
