About Photography Assistant

Photography Assistant provides exposure setting calculation and depth of field/hyperfocal distance calculation.
It was designed mostly to use with film cameras, although the dof/hyperfocal function can be useful for digital cameras too.
It also tries to take advantage of the ambient light sensor on the phone.
The exposure setting calculation supports three modes: aperture priority, shutter priority and manual mode.

Doesnt work on g1 1.5, light sensor not found, does g1 not have one? The height also does not fit the screen, needs a scroller or resizing

Seems promising but does not work on my droidX running 2.2

Looks like a great app... pity its not clear at all how to use it!!

N70%
by N####:

It may potentially be a useful tool, but with instructions I found myself unable to do anything useful with it. 3 stars for potential...

B70%
by B####:

Wish the text in the pulldown boxes had more contrast to button..hard to see. Otherwise pretty well thought out.

K70%
by K####:

Good idea! It works not so well on my milestone. Longing for tour new version. Everybody should try calibrating the light sensor. It works.

Simple, interesting, useful app.

Nice app, handy depth of field calculation. Excellent work!

Some zone system conversion would be nice, not fully functional on LG Ally

Would like to get a down graded version. This one doesn't work well.

Great potential, but your last update killed it. Waiting on a fix. HTC Legend.

Auto exposure doesn't work on my legend anymore after update

Updated killed it! All I get now is forced close, had to uninstall

Just works great!

S70%

Amazing app! Works fine on Droid Eris. Would love to be able to set shutter speed and have it tell me aperture needed for video applications.

B70%
by B####:

Would rate higher if it had better instructions.

Z70%
by Z####:

It's got potential! I'd like the app to remember my settings, also I can't get automatic ev on hero. Works fine on manual.

Beautiful

F70%
by F####:

This is a neat application and works great with my Motorola Atrix BUT the settings for ISO, Aperture, etc... are a dark grey on a light grey background and I can barely read what the settings are. I find it easier to tap on them to see what the radio button is set to which wastes time... I didn't find anywhere to change the text color or I would do that in a second.

U70%
by U####:

Tried many times to calibrate it against my Polaris lightmeter. Erroneous readings for aperture using Sv at ISO 400, often 2 or 3 stops off @ same EV.

F70%
by F####:

I use both dSLRs and compacts. Pity this app doesn't cater for P&S cameras like the Canon G12, S95, Lumix LX3, LX5, etc. Otherwise this app is OK.

U70%
by U####:

Very good features, if a little complex but will have to uninstall until App2SD

L70%
by L####:

Looks like it might be very useful, if I could read the text. Dark grey on light grey doesn't work on Droid X

P70%
by P####:

The screen did not scroll so unable to see the bottom fields and buttons

S70%
by S####:

Just looking through looks nice. Can't wait to check it out more thoroughly. Wish list right off: MF 6x9. and 6x12 - Thanx

U70%
by U####:

A bit too complex. There other faster apps.

R70%
by R####:

No ambient light sensor detected in my Xperia Arc; used to work in my Motorola Milestone.

U70%
by U####:

Why can't I see a light change when I put a finger in front of the light sensor?

Great app, does what it says

E70%
by E####:

Changing the value of the aperture changes the shutter speed, but in the wrong direction. Cannot rely on values given by the app.

L70%
by L####:

To hard to work

B70%
by B####:

Fantastic!

U70%
by U####:

Very limited! Not really able to do very much. Needs more options, light meter? More choices of fstop / shutter speed.

U70%
by U####:

Terrific! Works well with my Droid 2 + Canon T1i. Menu drop downs don't populate the current settings, but other than that- solid. Thanks

U70%
by U####:

Works really well but sometimes needs to be closed and restarted. I'll have to develop the pictures and come back with an update.
