    The guide number here (full power setting, ISO 100, and normal-angle coverage) is 37 for calculations made in meters (yellow arrow) and 120 for feet (orange). For instance, on the foot scale, f /4 × 30 ft = 120, as do both f /8 × 15 ft and f /16 × 7.5 ft. In meters, f /1.4 × 26 m = 37 as do f /22 × 1.7 m and every combination between.
