If I want to upload a scene onto the camera calculator and I know the make/model of the camera, is this how I can determine the angle of view for a camera?

For example for a Fujifilm S4200 14 MP 24X optical zoom camera with a 1/2.3” imager and a 4.3mm-103.2mm lens:

If I plug in 4.3mm for the lens, then the wide angle would be: 73.7°

If I plug in 103.2mm for the lens, then the telephoto angle would be: 3.6°

As long as I take a picture and do no zooming, then the angle (using this camera) would always be 73.7°, correct?

The S4200 lists "f=4.3mm - 103.2mm, equivalent to 24 - 576mm on a 35 mm camera"

Reading it like you do, I agree on your calculations.
