On focal length
The picture angle of this camera is 
narrower than that of a 35 mm-format 
film camera. You can find the 
approximate equivalent of the focal 
length of a 35 mm-format film 
camera, and shoot with the same 
picture angle, by increasing the focal 
length of your lens by half.
For example, by using a 50 mm lens, 
you can get the approximate 
equivalent of a 75 mm lens of a 35 
mm-format film camera.
