Christopher, welcome to the BM Forum, however, we use real names here not handles, just a heads up.
To answer your question, a BM Micro Camera has roughly a 1-inch sensor, with a S16 size area used to get the image. So for reference only, a 16mm lens on the Micro Studio is approximately the save angle of view on on the Micro Camera, as a 50mm lens on a full frame 135mm Camera.
Specific angles of view for a given focal length lens can be computed, but it is quicker to use a look up table application like PCAM used on a IOS Mac platform (IPhone IPad).
Here are some angle of views for common focal lengths at a 10-foot distance from the camera to give you a starting point. AOV is angle of view in degrees, distance is 10-feet and width of coverage is imperial measurement in feet/inches:
Lens AOV. Width of coverage
15mm. 26.34. 8’ 3.8”
20mm. 19.9. 6’ 3”
25mm. 16. 5’
35mm. 11.45. 3’ 6.8”
Since all camera to subject distance is 10-feet, you can double the results for 20-feet distance, etc
A formula can be worked out, but so using PCAM is quicker.
Hope this helps
Cheers
