Shutter speed app...

[MrGibbage]

It's not an app that is designed to be functional with the G1 camera. All it is is a shutterspeed calculator. Its an app for photographers, but useless for those of us who have light meters or know settings off the top of our head.

Basically if you have a good exposure at one setting (which you input), you can change some things on the other (line) and it will calculate what your shutterspeed should be. Maybe someone will correct me, but after playing with it thats what I took from it.

And most of us photographers who understand stops can do this in our head.

I played with it for a while, and was beginning to think the same thing. Enter some settings in the left column to indicate a known good exposure, then you can run some trials in the right column to see what other combinations would give you the same Ev (Exposure Value). However, I found a lot of times, it would calculate a shutter speed of 0'0''. I don't really know what that means. And for some reason, it doesn't want to work in the realm of reasonable shutter speeds where most photographers work, such as anything faster than 0''3. Strange. Yeah, I don't see me pulling this out while I'm on a photo shoot to help me with anything.

Same here. I guess its for people who like long exposures? It reads 0'0 because its beyone the scope of the 0"3-30" value. If it went to at least 1/250th it would be kind of useful to me, but still nothing my light meter wouldn't be better at.

A Depth of View calculator on the other hand would be awesome. This wouldn't be hard seeing as how there are online calculators everywhere. Some Dev just has to pick up on it.
