About this app

Photo Friend is a no-frills exposure calculator app, for photographers and movie makers that know their way. The app can also work as light meter by using the phone camera or the light sensor. The calculator can estimate depth-of-field, too.

Highlight features:

* Easy and intuitive exposure calculator. No typing, no configurations! Just drag each gauge to the desired value. The other meters move to make good exposure.

* Reflected light meter. If your phone has a camera and you grant access, a viewfinder is shown on the main screen. Point to the subject and touch the viewfinder to take a picture. The EV will be estimated based on the picture.

* Incident light meter. If your phone has a light sensor, the illuminance in lux is shown, and the estimated EV. Touch the viewfinder area to transport EV to the respective calculator gauge.

* Easy-to-use depth-of-field calculator. Just dial aperture, focal length and subject distance. DoF is expressed as numbers and graphically. Distance unit and DoF parameters can be tweaked at Settings.

Photo Friend is a free app with in-app purchase of ad-free mode.

Ratings and reviews

Nags to upgrade almost every tap of the screen. Not a 'friendly' Friend at all. Also, not so good an interface. David Quiles' light meter app is more useful and looks like a real world light meter, makes it easier to go between real light meters and his app.

Great app.. very useful But would good to be able to lock multiple settings.. I'm trying use this to select the correct nd filter for a gopro .. which has a fixed aperture of 2.8 and iso set to 100.. I'd like to lock these settings and shutter at around 1/120 so that it shows the correct nd filter to use. Also, what sensor size should be selected for a gopro? I has a sensor size of 1/2.3 inch.. I don't think app has this as an option?

I understand ads are necessary, but the ads here are incredibly intrusive, noisy and completely devalue the point of using this app. What a shame. Update: Finally bought the damn thing as it is the best light meter app - considering a brand new light meter costs about 150£, this is quite a reasonable deal.
