EN Matching viewfinder and actual image
At a range setting of 2m, the bright-line frame size corresponds
exactly to the sensor size of approx. 23.9 x 35.8mm; at infinity
setting, depending on the focal length, approx. 7.3% (28mm) to
18% (135mm) more is recorded by the sensor than indicated by
the corresponding bright line frame and slightly less for shorter
distance settings than 2m
Magnification (For all lenses)
