GrayZone Meter

About this app

GrayZone is a professional spot meter inspired by the Zone System.
Measure light exactly where you choose and get precise exposure guidance for highlights, shadows, and midtones.
Ideal for complex lighting and critical exposure situations, analogue or digital.

IMPORTANT: in order to properly work with your device, the first time the app must be calibrated by the user with the tool included.

Zone System Mode
Fast spot metering with Zone System logic.
Tap the area you want to measure and receive accurate exposure guidance for tonal placement.

GrayZone reads light where you decide — not where
your camera guesses.
