## What is Metered?

Metered turns your iPhone into a Light Meter, with intuitive controls, but it's also one that knows your camera and film. 

Pick your camera from a built-in library of classic bodies — Hasselblad 500C/M, Pentax 67, Nikon FM2, Rolleiflex, XPan, and dozens more — and the app meters within its real mechanical limits. Shutter readings never exceed what your camera can do, apertures never open wider than your lens, and the frame preview matches your film format: 6×6, 6×7, 6×4.5, 3:2, even 65:24 panoramic. Add your own as well!

Load a stock from the built-in film library — Portra, Tri-X, HP5, Velvia, Ektar, Acros — and your ISO is set; push or pull a stop and Metered tracks it automatically.
Shooting something we missed? Add your own cameras — with custom shutter, aperture, and format limits — and your own film stocks.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1 — 2026-08-06

Reciprocity failure correction. Shooting long exposures? Metered now
tells you how much extra time your film actually needs. Pick your stock
and any reading over a second shows the corrected time and the stops it
adds — using published factors from Ilford, Kodak and Fuji. You can see
every number and its source in Settings, edit it for your own stocks, or
turn the whole thing off.
Bulb mode. Dial one click past your slowest speed and Metered calculates
the full exposure to time by hand — no longer capped by what your
shutter is marked for.
Longer times, smaller apertures. The shutter dial now runs minute by
minute out to 30 minutes, and apertures reach f/128 for large format.
Added 1/400.

Fixed a first-run problem where the camera permission prompt could
appear over the welcome screen and leave the preview black. When you run this test build, please delete the old build first and install this one fresh.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-05
