How to Use This Calculator

Enter your lens focal length and camera sensor format.
Set the desired horizontal field of view in degrees.
Input the overlap percentage between frames (30 to 40 percent is standard).
Review the Number of Shots Required and the Nodal Point Offset for your lens.
Use the Total Resolution output in megapixels to verify the final file will meet your print size requirements.

How the result changes with Focal length (mm)

Focal length (mm)	Shots per row	Total shots	Final resolution (MP)
101	13	91	1,173.1
351	44	968	11,718.5
650	82	3,362	40,159.2
900	113	6,441	76,605.1

Focal length (mm): Lens focal length in mm (shorter = fewer shots needed).
Sensor width (mm): Camera sensor width (36mm for full-frame).
Sensor height (mm): Camera sensor height (24mm for full-frame).
Image width (px): Horizontal pixel count per image.
Image height (px): Vertical pixel count per image.
Total horizontal FOV (°): Desired total horizontal field of view in degrees.
Total vertical FOV (°): Desired total vertical field of view in degrees.
Overlap %: Overlap between adjacent shots (25-35% recommended).

Identify Input Parameters
4 parameters
Focal length (mm) = 50, Sensor width (mm) = 36, Sensor height (mm) = 24, Image width (px) = 6000 = 8 input(s) provided

Calculate Final resolution
Final resolution = (finalWidthPx * finalHeightPx) / 1e6
386.9 = 386.9
Calculate Single shot H-FOV
Single shot H-FOV = (hFovRad * 180) / π
39.6 = 39.6
Calculate Single shot V-FOV
Single shot V-FOV = (vFovRad * 180) / π
27 = 27
