Swipe left on any shot and tap Edit to fix the exposure, gear, filters, flash, zone, date, location, and notes. The shot stays on the same roll and derived values recalculate automatically. Get every frame off your roll Rolls now let you log a few extra frames past the declared count, just like real film that often gives you 37-40 on a 36 roll. You'll see a gentle "roll finished" hint instead of being blocked. More reliable sun alerts Sunrise, sunset, and golden/blue hour alerts now reschedule when you reopen the app, and no longer clear themselves when your location is briefly unavailable. Plus small fixes and polish. Thanks for shooting with F8t! ### 1.3 — 2026-06-09 uilt with feedback from working photographers: • Manual Bulb timing in Shutter Priority - type any exposure length, get the aperture, and time it with a Lock Screen / Dynamic Island countdown. Reciprocity is folded right into the aperture. • Half and third-stop apertures - ideal for leaf-shutter cameras where the shutter is fixed in full stops. • Tap any film's reciprocity to see the full correction method and formula. • Swipe the depth-of-field strip down to tuck it out of the way. • Reliability fixes to the long-exposure timer. ### 1.2 — 2026-05-21 Equipment expansion + first user feedback round.
