+ | |||
+ | 50.40 m x 33.6 m = 169,344 sq cm. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 169,344 / 24,160,256 = .007009 m or 7 mm | ||

+ | Nex5 = 4912x3264 resolution or 16,032,768 megapixels | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | At 150 ft in height | ||
+ | |||
+ | Convert to square centimeters FOV = 31,354,776 sq cm. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 31,354,776 / 16,032,768 = 1.955 cm per pixel | ||
