Sunny16 exposure calculator for Android

11 things about Sunny16 exposure calculator

1. Sunny 16 is a basic photographic exposure rule that works like this: If it’s sunny set your aperture to f/16 and your shutter speed to the reciprocal of your film speed.

2. • Implicit Priority Modes: if you set the shutter speed and then change the ISO, the lighting condition, or the exposure compensation, the shutter speed will remain the same and the f/stop will change (shutter priority).

3. • Equivalent Exposures: see the full range of equivalent exposures (also known as reciprocal exposures) for any film speed under natural lighting conditions.

4. • Limits: if a particular shutter speed or f/stop is not available for the conditions you specify you won't be able to select it (you can try but the picker will politely roll back to a correct exposure).

5. This app is ideal for anyone with a film or digital camera with an M (manual) mode who wants a quick tool to help set up the perfect exposure or anyone who wants to understand the relationships between the elements that create a properly exposed image.

6. To put it another way, if your film speed (ISO) is 200 set your shutter speed to 1/200 and your aperture to f/16.

7. • Exposure Compensation: easily compensate +/- up to 5 stops for backlight or other common lighting conditions.

8. Sunny16 is a fun, easy to use exposure calculator that implements the Sunny 16 exposure rule and then some.

9. But what if you want to shoot at f/8? What if it's not quite sunny? What about heavy overcast? What if you want to shoot at 1/1000? Sunny16 answers all of those questions with just a tap.

10. • Lighting: naturally occurring lighting conditions expressed in EV 100.

11. And vice versa for aperture priority.
