A STARTING POINT, MADE FOR YOU
The camera & lighting planner
toolbox.
Compare exposure settings, focus models and ideal lighting relationships.
INSIDE THE TOOLBOX
Starter collection8 useful places to start.
Models use your focal length, sensor, blur and light assumptions; they do not measure the scene or select equipment.
Exposure value calculator
Compare photographic settings on a logarithmic stop scale.
Equivalent shutter exposure
Keep a relative exposure while changing aperture and ISO.
ND filter exposure calculator
Translate filter stops into exposure time, factor and optical density.
Depth of field & hyperfocal
Explore thin-lens focus limits with a chosen blur criterion.
Camera field of view
Compare sensor dimensions, focal length and approximate scene coverage.
Macro extension estimate
Estimate magnification and exposure allowance from lens extension.
Flash guide number calculator
Relate ISO, direct-flash distance and aperture using a supplied guide number.
Light distance & falloff
Compare ideal point-source illumination at two distances.
