Crop factor
The size of a camera sensor relative to full frame, expressed as the increase in lens focal length that would be needed to produce the same angle of view.
For example, a Nikon DX SLR has a crop factor of 1.5, so a 50mm lens produces an angle of view equivalent to a 75mm lens (50 x 1.5) on a full frame camera.
