  • \$\begingroup\$ I think the duplicate should answer your question there, although be aware that your camera has a (relatively) small sensor, so has a crop factor of 5.6x, as opposed to the 1.6x or so being discussed in that question. \$\endgroup\$

Because your camera has a crop factor of 5.6 if you were to set it to about 9mm it would be roughly equivalent to 50mm on a full frame camera.

Why do you want to "achieve" a 50mm focal length?
