## What is Photographer's companion Pro?

/!\ THIS IS NOT AN APPLICATION TO TAKE PHOTOS, BUT TO HELP TO PERFORM SETTINGS IN MANUAL MODE ON A CAMERA OR A DEDICATED APPLICATION.

THIS IS THE AD-FREE VERSION OF PHOTOGRAPHER'S COMPANION WITH MORE FEATURES.

This application will help you to abandon the automatic mode of your cameras that doesn't do everything and control everything. For more experienced photographers, it can simplify the settings by doing the calculations for you (/!\ Camera adjustment must be done manually). It includes more than 40 tools and will also allow you to plan your photo outings from home by locating the places and positions of the Sun, the Moon or the Milky Way.

In any case, it is not a magic application to make beautiful pictures every time, but it will allow you to find a basic setting to refine to get the best picture you think.

It is aimed at professional or amateur photographers (basic knowledge is required) and offers the tools to:
- Calculate the alternative/equivalent exposure (manages the ND filter and long exposures)
- Calculate the depth of field, hyperfocal and simulation of Bokeh
- Calculate the field of view

- Calculate the best setting for an EV (exposure value) given

- Calculate for the macro photo the possible magnification with a close-up lens or an extension tube

   . Countdown
   . Compass
   . Bubble level
   . Torch

### 5/5 — Génial

*2025-01-09*

Merci pour votre application !
Très utile pour progresser et prendre de meilleurs clichés en comprenant nos erreurs.
Petit axe d’amélioration selon moi : si les explications en cliquant sur le point d’interrogation pouvait être intégrées à l’appli et dispo hors connexion ça serait génial.
Encore merci

### 5/5 — Everything

*2024-07-23*

This is for Photographers who use cameras with actual, meaningful controls. It has an enormous amount of useful information. It will take some reading and research of the provided HELP links and that is okay with me.

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2023-05-12*

A very useful app that has been around for a while now so I can't see why it's not mentioned more in online reviews.

### 5/5 — Die für mich beste App als Hilfe bei meiner Fotografie

*2022-01-15*

Ich habe noch keine so gute App gefunden wie diese und kann sie nur zu 100% weiterempfehlen. Objektive lassen sich hinzufügen. Die Hilfe und Erklärungen sind sehr verständlich. Der Umfang der Möglichkeiten bietet jedem Nutzer etwas. Großes Lob an die Entwickler und recht herzlichen Dank.

### 5/5 — Une application très pratique pour la photo

*2021-01-05*

Une super application très utile que j’avais déjà sous Androïd. Une excellente idée de la proposer sur IOS.

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup !

### 1/5 — 🥴

*2020-11-25*

Just brought this app but it doesn’t support Pentax K 70, not happy.

### 2/5 — Canon

*2020-09-09*

ich finde die App im Prinzip ganz gut aufgebaut, leider fehlt meine Kamera die EOS 2000D um auch für mich präzise Angaben zu bekommen, sonst gäbe es 5 Sterne.
