LightMeter

About this app

LightMeter is a practical light meter for photographers who shoot film and want to keep one in their pocket.

It includes two metering modes:

• Reflected-light metering using the camera
• Incident-light metering using the light sensor

⚠️ Performance and accuracy depend on each device’s hardware. Reflected-light metering has more limited compatibility, while incident-light metering works on most devices.

Features:

• ISO range from 3 to 6400
• Low-light warning
• Optional EXIF and sensor information
• Calibration adjustment
• Vibration when measuring and holding a reading
• Reading hold for incident-light metering
• Alternative ISO selector
• Saves the current state and selected ISO
• Spot metering, if supported by the camera

Ratings and reviews

I shot an entire vacation using this app. 8 rolls of film with essentially very basic entry level knowledge of film photography. In terms of exposure, almost all photos turned out looking great. I tried using other apps and they just weren't as intuitive as this one. I like how simple this app is and for someone who has probably bought less than 10 apps ever, this is one that I am happy I paid for.

Excellent! Nice to have meter with an intuitive, analog readout. I love the simple calculator dial of my Weston 737, and this works just as well. Unfortunately the settings tab is placed where I can't get to it: if I try to touch it, phone settings come down instead of app settings. I would LOVE to see continuous reading in reflected mode. Perhaps this is a little ambitious, but that would make this my favorite metering app by a huge margin.

compared to my Gossen Luna pro F, I calibrated it in reflected and incident. it seemed l to be reasonably accurate. if it had both high and low , or high calibration points, plus temp reading it would be awesome. but that's a lot to ask. I would not quibble over the difference in between any two meters I use as there are always small differences. going to try it on ground glass of my large format, and on easel under enlarger.

What’s new

Fixed an issue where the camera zoom was not restored after reopening the app.
