About
Most light meter apps give you a technically correct reading that your camera physically cannot set. Frame gives you the actual stops your camera has.
You tell it what you're shooting with. It tells you what to set.
—
Add your camera once — aperture range, shutter speeds, everything. Frame remembers it. Next time you open the app, it's already there. If you shoot multiple bodies, switch between them in one tap.
Don't see your camera in the built-in list? Add it manually in about 30 seconds. The form is short.
—
The meter itself works like you'd expect. Live reading while you point. Tap the viewfinder to freeze it when you've got the right light. Tap again to go live. Change ISO or exposure compensation without losing your locked reading.
Three combinations show up for every reading: the closest match, one with shallower depth of field, one with more. All real values for your specific camera — not theoretical ones you'll have to round anyway.
—
No account required. Nothing syncs anywhere. Your camera profiles stay on your device.
Camera access is used to read light levels only. No photos or video are captured or stored.
