This is the actual size of the GXR Mount A12 sensor: 23.6 x 15.7 mm
The sensor has a surface area of 370.5 mm².
There are approx. 12,300,000 photosites (pixels) on this area.
Pixel pitch, which is a measure of the distance between pixels, is 5.49 µm.
Pixel pitch tells you the distance from the center of one pixel (photosite) to the center of the next.
Pixel or photosite area is 30.14 µm². The larger the photosite, the more light it can capture and the more information can be recorded.
Pixel density tells you how many million pixels fit or would fit in one square cm of the sensor. Ricoh GXR Mount A12 has a pixel density of 3.31 MP/cm².
These numbers are important in terms of assessing the overall quality of a digital camera. Generally, the bigger (and newer) the sensor, pixel pitch and photosite area, and the smaller the pixel density, the better the camera.

Diagonal
Diagonal is calculated by the use of Pythagorean theorem:
where w = sensor width and h = sensor height
| Diagonal = √ | w² + h² |
Ricoh GXR Mount A12 diagonal:
w = 23.60 mm
h = 15.70 mm
h = 15.70 mm
| Diagonal = √ | 23.60² + 15.70² | = 28.35 mm |
Surface area
Surface area is calculated by multiplying the width and the height of a sensor.
Width = 23.60 mm
Height = 15.70 mm
Surface area = 23.60 × 15.70 = 370.52 mm²
Width = 23.60 mm
Height = 15.70 mm
Surface area = 23.60 × 15.70 = 370.52 mm²
Pixel pitch
Pixel pitch is the distance from the center of one pixel to the center of the
next measured in micrometers (µm). It can be calculated with the following formula:
| Pixel pitch = | sensor width in mm | × 1000 |
| sensor resolution width in pixels |
Ricoh GXR Mount A12 pixel pitch:
Sensor width = 23.60 mm
Sensor resolution width = 4296 pixels
Sensor resolution width = 4296 pixels
| Pixel pitch = | 23.60 | × 1000 | = 5.49 µm |
| 4296 |
Pixel area
The area of one pixel can be calculated by simply squaring the pixel pitch:
You could also divide sensor surface area with effective megapixels:
Pixel area = pixel pitch²
You could also divide sensor surface area with effective megapixels:
| Pixel area = | sensor surface area in mm² |
| effective megapixels |
Ricoh GXR Mount A12 pixel area:
Pixel pitch = 5.49 µm
Pixel area = 5.49² = 30.14 µm²
Pixel area = 5.49² = 30.14 µm²
Pixel density
Pixel density can be calculated with the following formula:
You could also use this formula:
| Pixel density = ( | sensor resolution width in pixels | )² / 1000000 |
| sensor width in cm |
You could also use this formula:
| Pixel density = | effective megapixels × 1000000 | / 10000 |
| sensor surface area in mm² |
Ricoh GXR Mount A12 pixel density:
Sensor resolution width = 4296 pixels
Sensor width = 2.36 cm
Pixel density = (4296 / 2.36)² / 1000000 = 3.31 MP/cm²
Sensor width = 2.36 cm
Pixel density = (4296 / 2.36)² / 1000000 = 3.31 MP/cm²
Sensor resolution
Sensor resolution is calculated from sensor size and effective megapixels. It's slightly higher
than maximum (not interpolated) image resolution which is usually stated on camera specifications.
Sensor resolution is used in pixel pitch, pixel area, and pixel density formula.
For sake of simplicity, we're going to calculate it in 3 stages.
1. First we need to find the ratio between horizontal and vertical length by dividing the former with the latter (aspect ratio). It's usually 1.33 (4:3) or 1.5 (3:2), but not always.
2. With the ratio (r) known we can calculate the X from the formula below, where X is a vertical number of pixels:
3. To get sensor resolution we then multiply X with the corresponding ratio:
Resolution horizontal: X × r
Resolution vertical: X
1. First we need to find the ratio between horizontal and vertical length by dividing the former with the latter (aspect ratio). It's usually 1.33 (4:3) or 1.5 (3:2), but not always.
2. With the ratio (r) known we can calculate the X from the formula below, where X is a vertical number of pixels:
| (X × r) × X = effective megapixels × 1000000 → |
|
Resolution horizontal: X × r
Resolution vertical: X
Ricoh GXR Mount A12 sensor resolution:
Sensor width = 23.60 mm
Sensor height = 15.70 mm
Effective megapixels = 12.30
Resolution horizontal: X × r = 2864 × 1.5 = 4296
Resolution vertical: X = 2864
Sensor resolution = 4296 x 2864
Sensor height = 15.70 mm
Effective megapixels = 12.30
| r = 23.60/15.70 = 1.5 |
|
Resolution vertical: X = 2864
Sensor resolution = 4296 x 2864
Crop factor
Crop factor or focal length multiplier is calculated by dividing the diagonal
of 35 mm film (43.27 mm) with the diagonal of the sensor.
| Crop factor = | 43.27 mm |
| sensor diagonal in mm |
Ricoh GXR Mount A12 crop factor:
Sensor diagonal = 28.35 mm
| Crop factor = | 43.27 | = 1.53 |
| 28.35 |
35 mm equivalent aperture
Equivalent aperture (in 135 film terms) is calculated by multiplying lens aperture
with crop factor (a.k.a. focal length multiplier).
Ricoh GXR Mount A12 equivalent aperture:
Aperture is a lens characteristic, so it's calculated only for
fixed lens cameras. If you want to know the equivalent aperture for
Ricoh GXR Mount A12, take the aperture of the lens
you're using and multiply it with crop factor.
Crop factor for Ricoh GXR Mount A12 is 1.53
