Since it depends on relating the lens focal-length range to
the used-area CCD dimensions, it is not easy...
Rule of thumb: at the zoom short end, the FL equivalent
is almost always about 43-48mm in 35mm terms (though even
that isn't perfect, since 35mm is 4.5:3 proportion and
video is 4:3 - so, FL based on horizontal coverage, or
based on the more usual but less useful diagonal?).
