LightMeter v1.6.10.NA

About this app

Developer Description

A light meter for true photographers.

I've made this app for real old school photographers or advanced amateurs shooting analog photography. For the price of a soda you will support hundreds of hours of work.

LightMeter's reflected light meter only works with devices that are able to save exposure to exif. Incident light meter usually works on any device but...

Be advised that the precission and quality of this and all phone light meters is limited by the device itself. I recommend using the reflected light option, the precission can be really good.

Features:

-ISO range from 3 to 6400.
-Incident light metering (needs light sensor)
-Reflected light metering (needs camera, only a few are compatible)
-Low light alert.
-Camera can be muted. (not in all countries)
-Exif and sensor info displayed on screen as an option.
-Calibration.
-Vibration on measure/hold.
-Incident light reading can be held.
-Alternative ISO selector.
-State and ISO recall on resume.
-Spot measure if camera has zoom.
-Support for all screens, including extra high resolution.

Thanks for your support

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.

The best light meter on Android. If this one had the same features as the ios it would be perfect. Pls bring them to android.

I wish I could have a better way to determine if my phone's camera is compatible with the reflect meter. There is a huge discrepancy between the reflected light meter and the incidental light meter. I haven't done any shots using the meter, but the incidental seems about accurate to the Sunny 16 rule—close enough that I'm sure it's working as designed, at least. Using the reflected meter, though, the meter is always around 1/500 at f2, no matter what I meter, though my phone saves exposure exif.

Didn't work with my Galaxy s21+. Also didn't work on my old s10... that recently broke so I got the 21+ and figured I'd try (had to pay for the new version). It's odd, seems to work in direct sunlight, but indoors in good light, it reads 4 stops lower than my Gossen Luna. Seems like the phone is acting differently in lower light condition which leads it to read 4 stops below my Gossen Luna. Nice app if it works on your phone, just doesn't seem to work on the Galaxy S series.

Same app from years ago. Now costs £££ I download this app on an older device years ago (still have it). The app is exactly the same. The difference is it used to be free!
