I shot some video with a Canon Elura 2MC DV cam. I'm importing the footage into a program that requires film back width and height along with focal length information to work properly.

Does anyone know how I can find out these values?


Thanks,
BR

Ok so maybe I can figure out the focal length form these specs from the canon site:

Lens - f1.6-2.5, 10x power zoom, 3.5-35.0mm
Minimum Focusing Distance - 3ft 3/68 om (1m); 3/8 in. (1cm) on maximum wide angle

So the footage was shot with the Lens zoomed out to the widest point at all times. Any tips on calculating the focal length? I'm kind of a math retard :oops:

Thank you for any help

p.s. I assume finding out the film back is going to be impossible?

1/4th in... man that's pathetic, many P&S have bigger sensors

Thanks for the reply basroil. Yes it is quite a ghetto camera :oops:

I'm still a little unclear how to calculate the film back to plug the numbers into my program. It's asking for width & Height in mm. Is there some easy conversion? Everything was shot 4:3

I'm guessing 3.60mm width and 2.70mm height? (from wiki)

also, any way to find out focal length? I know, want, want, want! :)

1/4in diagonal = 6.35mm
From the 3-4-5 right triangle, we get that the width has to be 4/5 of the diagonal, so 5.08mm
From the same idea, the height should be 3.81mm

As for the simple math, 3.5mm = 3.5mm = your focal length
