Precise Light Meter with Built-In Exposure Calculator

Achieve perfect exposure every time with professional-grade accuracy and an intuitive design. Trusted by photographers, filmmakers, plant enthusiasts, and lighting professionals worldwide.

📷 INTERACTIVE EXPOSURE CALCULATOR
Get instant, optimal camera settings with real-time adjustments for aperture (f-stop, f-number), shutter speed (exposure time), ISO, +/- exposure compensation, and filters.
Choose between full stops, half stops, and third stops individually for each parameter. Lock any setting to maintain creative control. Perfect for SLR, analogue, manual, vintage, and film cameras.

🎬 SHUTTER ANGLE FOR VIDEO & FILM
Set your frame rate and shutter angle, or use the standard 180° rule, to automatically calculate the optimal shutter speed for natural motion blur.

🎯 PROFESSIONAL ACCURACY
Pre-calibrated to match three professional light meters, with optional device-specific calibration for even greater precision.

📐 DUAL MEASUREMENT MODES
Incident measurement using your device's light sensor and reflective measurement with the rear/front cameras. Resizable measurement area with spot metering for precise control.

🌙 SUPERIOR LOW-LIGHT PERFORMANCE
Unlike other smartphone light meters, this app excels in very low light conditions, even when measuring with the cameras (reflective mode). Measures values below 1 lux, 0.1 fc, and nearly down to -2 EV.

🟢 COMPREHENSIVE FILTER SUPPORT
Full support for ND (neutral density) filters, colour filters, IR filters, CPL/PL polarising filters, and custom filters.

💡 MULTIPLE MEASUREMENT UNITS
Measure light intensity (illumination/brightness) in Lux (lx, lumens/m²), Foot-Candles (fc), and Exposure Value (EV).

💾 SAVE MEASUREMENTS
Store unlimited readings with timestamps, custom notes, and complete camera settings for future reference and comparison.

🌟 VERSATILE APPLICATIONS
Beyond photography and filmmaking, widely used for horticulture 🌱, plant growing 🪴, aquariums 🐠, terrariums 🦎, art galleries 🖼️, museums 🏛️, offices 🏢, and workspaces 💼.

🕯️ ALL LIGHT SOURCE TYPES
Accurately measures LEDs, incandescent bulbs, fluorescent lights, halogen lamps, natural sunlight, laser diodes, OLEDs, and any other artificial or ambient lighting.

Ratings and reviews

Love the app makes taking the perfect picture so much easier and definitely less expensive then buying a dedicated light meter. The other day I was think that if there was a way to add camera profiles that would make this so much better than it already is. We all know that different cameras react differently. Or maybe lens profiles. At the end of the day great program as is. Thank you for developing it and your other great products also.

I love physical light meters. and this is the best Android light meter app. for $10, you'll be getting something invaluable. under exposure is detrimental to film photography. light meters usually give a very good overall exposure of a scene. there can be improved features to the ISO component when the shutter angle is applied. most cameras that shoot in log starts with iso 800 which is essential iso 100 in normal iso operation sense. good to have an option to toggle between SDR and Log ISOs

Great app, full of features. This does what I've been after for a while. I needed to be able to measure the light as the phone sees then fix the Apature and ISO to the native of my drone and then see the shutter speed vs ND. I would have liked to fix the speed too and make it auto select the ND but I am more than happy to keep changing the ND to one that I own and see what the shutter speed is until I get my desired speed. I am doing hyperlapses on the drone so all settings are important
