Does the Exif data contain the CCD width information? If so, use: focal length in pixels = (image width in pixels) * (focal length in mm) / (CCD width in mm)

no, that is actually an aspect ratio. I saw a web site that actually gave common ccd sizes. I'll try to find it again a post link here

looks like you should be using 6.16 mm

Let F be the focal length in mm, be the focal length in pixels, and be the pixel size in mm.
Then, and .
The values for should be available in, or derivable from, the camera's technical specifications.
