Sensor Size Documentation #79290

In the documentation on sensor size, it's said that it's an alternative way to control focal length. While I did not check to see if this is actually true from the source code point of view, I'm wondering if it meant to say: "an alternative way to control field of view."

an alternative way to control focal length

I would say that this is a completely incorrect statement.

sensor size + focal length > field of view

So you can achieve the same field/angle of view
with different combinations of sensor size and focal length.
But you will have different depth of field, for example.

Changing the sensor size is not equivalent to changing the focal length.
