Description

/!\ 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).

Do not hesitate to contact me, if you have ideas for changes, improvements, any bugs or for translations (stefsoftware@gmail.com).

v2.0

Attention !!! Appli intéressante mais des erreurs dans l'aide ; c'est bien dommage. Ex : pour la taille d'impression la formule est fausse pour le tirage 10x15... Ce n'est pas 10x2.54x300 mais 19/2.54x300 !!!

Developer Response

Bonjour Éric, Merci de m'avoir remonté ce problème de frappe au niveau de l'aide. Je viens de la corriger en 10 / 2.54 x 300 et 15 / 2.54 x 300 Je vous rassure la formule est correct dans l'application.

v1.9.0

Superbe appli d'une grande aide, Moins de doutes donc moins de photos ratées..... J'aimerais avoir sur la version pro la fonction enregistrement GPS (.gpx) pour géotaguer mes photos. Les application digikam (appli gratuite et opensource) ou Lightroom permettent d'importer ces données aux photos. Même sans cet ajout je finirais par acheter la version pro, la version gratuite mérite déjà une contribution.

Developer Response

Merci beaucoup Julien pour votre commentaire ! J'ai bien pris note de votre demande d'enregistrement de GPS
