Before you use the answer
Keep capture settings, physical dimensions and delivery requirements in separate columns of the job notes. A mathematically equivalent setting may change motion blur, depth of field or noise. Check an actual frame before committing an entire session to a numerical estimate.
Noise and highlight behaviour can change even when nominal brightness is equivalent.

Why might a result be approximate?
Measurement uncertainty, ideal-model assumptions and floating-point rounding can all matter. Displaying more digits does not improve the original measurement.
