📷 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, analog, 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, color filters, IR filters, CPL/PL polarizing 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.

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.

Hands down the best light meter app I've found. I recently bought a new film camera for which I will need to meter as there is no TTL meter on it. This is better than any other metering app I've found for spot metering (including another paid app). I love the adjustable spot size. The only thing I would recommend/suggest is lens/camera profiles and a bit more shutter speed options.

This app has been super helpful in helping me get my garden seedlings the right light levels over the past year, as I prep for gardening. This will help you easily and accurately tell how much light you plants are getting, which you can then use to adjust lighting. Well worth the price!

What’s new

• Added log ISO profiles to better support cameras with N-Log, S-Log3, C-Log and more.
• Added medium format crop factors for the blur warnings.
