Calculating Lens Focal Length
1) F = vm x (D/V) or 2) F = h x (D/H)
F: Focal length of lens
V : Vertical field of view
H : Horizontal field of view
D : Distance from Lens to Object
vm: Vertical multiplier (see table below)
hm : Horizontal multiplier (see table below)
Table 1
| Camera Format |
1 inch |
2/3 inch |

| vm |

| hm |

4.8 |
For Example:
To calculate focal length using:
| 1/2 inch CCD camera |
vm = 4.8 |
| Vertical field of view |
V = 340 mm |
| Distance from lens to object |
D = 2500 mm |
Substitute these data to formula #1 above:
F = 4.8 x (2500/340) = approx. 35 mm
Therefore, specify a 35 mm lens to achieve a 340 mm vertical
field of view from 2500 mm object distance with a 1/2" format CCD camera.
Note:
field of view (V or H) and object distance (D) can be in any units of
measure, provided they are both the same.
