You like using your old film camera but it doesn't have a built-in light meter? The built-in meter is broken or requires special batteries? With Luxilux you always have a light meter in your pocket. --- METERING --- Luxilux will take an average reading of the image you see in the preview. Specify the area for the meter reading even more accurately by zooming in or out. If your device has two or three back cameras, you can switch between them. You can also tap on points of interest to expose correctly for them. --- MODES --- Use Luxilux in aperture priority mode (Av) by choosing the ISO and aperture, and Luxilux will calculate the right shutter speed to get a proper exposure. Use it in shutter priority mode (Tv) by choosing the ISO and the shutter speed, and Luxilux will calculate the right aperture to get a proper exposure. Manual mode (M) lets you change all values and shows you how much they differ from the calculated optimal exposure. --- SAVE EXPOSURES --- Tap "Save" and the currently selected settings are saved alongside a preview image into your photo library. If you give location permission you can also save where the measurement was taken. You can view your saved photos in Luxilux or in the Photos app. --- PROFILES --- You can choose between full stops, half stops or third stops for ISO, aperture and shutter speed. Specify the minimum and maximum values that your combination of camera, lens and film supports. Save these settings in profiles so you can quickly recall them.
Custom shutter speed suggestion
I would love a feature where u can customize the shutter speed for longer than 30 seconds. Anyway that can be added?
Great communication from app developer!
I had an issue with my iPhone enlarging the text too much on the app and the developer responded 5 minutes later with a fix! I’m blown away by such great service. The app is perfect for the mid level photographer to test out how close they can get to guessing proper exposure without an expensive light meter. I do it by eye and use this app to double check.
Great App
Great App works really good. Perfect companion for my camera
So amazingly cool
I had my grandpa’s old camera and light meter for years, and having something like this really brings back the feel of artistry and craft to taking a photograph. Forget pre-calibrated photos and everything happening in the background. Manual and analog are the only ways to go if you want to be a craftsman/craftswoman.
It's perfect
Beautiful app. Great companion to my old manual film cameras.
Great for what it’s intended use is!
While maybe my phone camera isn’t as good as a hundred dollar lux meter, having an app like this is super convenient for having at least something to help get the right shot!
Great app!
This app is super well designed and does what you expect (light readings). I would love to be able to capture the scene and settings for a particular reading so I could have that data to go along with my film later. Thank you!
