About
f/oss is a free light meter for film photography — rebuilt from the ground up as a fully native app.
Point the spot-metering circle at your subject and read the exposure instantly. f/oss measures true photometric luminance through your iPhone's camera and is calibrated against professional reference meters.
FIVE METERING MODES
• Aperture Priority — set f-stop and ISO, get your shutter speed
• Shutter Priority — set shutter and ISO, get your f-stop
• Exposure Value — read the scene's EV directly
• Cine — shutter angle and frame rate for filmmakers
• Manual — check your chosen settings against the metered scene
BUILT FOR REAL CAMERAS
• Camera profiles: save your bodies with their actual shutter and bias limits
• Full, half or third stop increments
• Configurable shutter, aperture, ISO and exposure bias ranges
• Reference lock: freeze a reading and measure scene contrast in stops
• Exposure lock for recompose workflows
ACCURATE
• True spot metering of exactly the circle you see
• Full-color light analysis — reads saturated LED and neon light correctly
• Verified against professional meters from daylight to low light
FREE, NO SUBSCRIPTION
Every feature is free, forever. If f/oss saves your shots, there's an optional tip jar — that's it.
