About this app

Developer Description

Helper application for photographers calculating adjustments to make.

/!\ THIS IS NOT AN APPLICATION TO TAKE PHOTOS, BUT TO HELP TO PERFORM SETTINGS IN MANUAL MODE ON A CAMERA OR A DEDICATED APPLICATION.

This application will help you to abandon the automatic mode of your cameras that does not do everything and control everything. For more experienced photographers, it can simplify the settings by doing the calculations for you (/!\ The camera must be adjusted manually).

In any case, it is not a magic application to make beautiful pictures every time, but it will allow you to find a basic setting to refine to get the best picture you think.

It is aimed at professional or amateur photographers (basic knowledge is required) and offers the tools to:
- Calculate the alternative/equivalent exposure (manages the ND filter and long exposures)
- Calculate the depth of field, hyperfocal and simulation of Bokeh
- Calculate the field of view
- Calculate the shutter speed to freeze the motion of a subject
- Capture/Photograph sunrise/sunset, the golden hours and the blue hours
- Get the position of the sun, time of sunrise/sunset, golden hour, blue time and monthly calendar
- Capture/Photograph the moon based on the phase of the day
- Capture/Photograph moonlit landscapes
- Get the position of the moon, the hour of moonrise/moonset and the monthly calendar
- Capture/Photograph the stars, the milky way without or with star trails (Simulator)
- Capture/Photograph the northern lights
- Capture/Photograph the lightning and the fireworks
- Calculate the best setting for an EV (exposure value) given
- Calculate distance or aperture with a flash
- Calculate the optimum settings according to the lighting of the place (Light Meter)
- Calculate for the macro photo the possible magnification with a close-up lens or an extension tube
- Calculate the print size
- Time lapse
- Get/Set the characteristics of a camera (sensor size, crop factor, sensor resolution, ISO range, shutter speed range, circle of confusion)

A countdown is available for long exposures.

If this app is right for you, you can switch to Photographer's Companion Pro (no ads with more features).

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! If you are seeking for a great app to master DSLR photography, that's the best option. It's a really well designed calculator of exposure, depth of field, etc, and really works well and suggests you what settings you should use to take great photo. It works well, designed well and hey, no ads included, which really makes me feel good.

Very useful and nearly best among apps available free. Variety of tools available for calculations is also amazing. To be precise, it has many plus points. Only request is to replace sheep with Man as Object in field of view section. I think this will give better simulation. I am loving this app.

Calculations are useful, but interface seems gimmicky.

Fantastic Idea BUT...Some technical specs for cameras are inaccurate. It incorrectly lists and calculates for the Panasonic GH4 as a 5:4 aspect ratio for some reason. And the aspect ratio cannot be changed in app, rendering the entire app useless. If this is changed and you are allowed to edit the aspect ratio, this will be a 5 star review.
