Photo Exposure Calculator for Android
In photography, exposure value (EV) denotes all combinations of a camera's shutter speed and relative aperture that give the same exposure.
How to use it
With your touch or keypad down/up, you move de ruler.
Establish the brightness (EV) of your subject, using either your hand-held light meter or the descriptions on the calculator. (Note that the descriptions are only a guideline - if you're working from them you may wish to bracket your exposures.)
Slide the sliding scale so that the ISO value of your film lines up with the appropriate EV value. Then you can read off aperture/shutter speed combinations from the lower pair of scales.
This version of the calculator is reversible. Use the side with EVs 8-16 for bright conditions, and the 3-11 side for dim light.
Great guide for most common photo situations, and more importantly quick and easy to use to guess best exposure without a light meter, or as a reference for exposure in general. Good companion with my film cameras.
Just what I've been looking for unfortunatly shutter speeds are to small to read Xperia Z2 (D6503)
I needed a simple EV flashcard for my Yashica Minister film rangefinder. Thank you!
Finally! I was about to try googling how to create apps when I found this :) My photography professor suggested on the printed version but it got wet. Unfortunately, the app doesn't look good on my phone. The ev values are hidden and the descriptions are partly covered :( Can't read.them properly.
To big for my screen
I'm unable to read the shutter speed. It's cut off by the ISO/Aperture slider.
This would be so much better with EV values that enter the negative values. Of very limited use if you are looking to photograph in low light. Installed and refunded within a minute. It's just not for me.
Seems to function well, but this is a reflected light meter, not an incident meter. Incident meters read the light actually falling on the subject using a white inverccone, and are used differently. A reflected light meter reads the light being reflected back off the subject: this is why white objects and black objects often look grey instead of their correct shades because the exposure needs adjustment. And before anyone criticises my comment, I have over 30 years experience as a professional photographer.
Good simple idea, but implementation is lousy
Doesn't work.
Out didn't work on my lg p500

As others have found, on my phone the shutter scale cannot be seen so I cannot use it
