About this app

Light Meter is an app that helps you calculate the right exposure settings in two ways, using your main phone camera or the front ambient light sensor. You just need to set the ISO speed of the film you're using and set the desired aperture value and the app will recalculate the shutter speed for you, simple as that.

Features:
• Calculate exposure with the main camera sensor
• Tap the aperture or shutter speed value to lock it and change priority mode
• Use the zoom menu or simple pinch to zoom function and use zoomed part as the area metering mode
• Use the Snap function to easily set desired camera parameters
• Add and save your entire shooting process to notes quickly
• Back up your notes using the backup feature
• Use the B&W mode to see how your photos will turn out in real time
• Use the Film Stock feature to choose the type of film you're shooting with

We constantly update the app to provide more features that users are looking for, so expect even more with future updates.

Thank you for using the Light Meter app.

Ratings and reviews

I love the layout, it's so simple and quick to use, you can very very easily get your settings right ASAP which is so important. The ads are also not obtrusive and very unlikely to accidentally be clocked. However, the readings are pretty dang inaccurate. I've compared it against my phone's exposure settings and in anything other than perfect outdoor light this consistently gives 1-2 stop higher readings, and they tend to "stick" with anything other than dramatic changes in light.

Excellent basic app for film cameras with either no built in meter, or a non-functional one. It works similarly to a typical aperture priority camera meter, you set film ASA, and you can choose the aperture and it will tell you the correct shutter speed, so basically an aperture priority meter. It would be nice if it could also do shutter priority though. Simple to use.

Using this with a variety of old cameras and getting great results. Easy to use and love the notes feature. Would be nice to have a way to quickly switch between presets on the Camera Sensor view, so that it can be more easily used with multiple cameras/film at the same time.
