Calculate 1/3 stop different to table

The results of the app is 1/3 stop different to tables.
EV 10 means 1/15s at f/8 (ISO100)
But the app result is 1/13s

Response from developer

Hi Ra-Sti. Thanks for giving Sunny16 a try. It appears that the table you are using is for full stops. Try setting “Stop Increment” to “Full” in order to get the result you are looking for. The stop increment setting should match your camera. There seems to be some debate about exposure settings in general. We follow the Sunny 16 rule. Hence the name of the app. If you subscribe to a different methodology, consider setting your exposure compensation to -1/3.

Great instant reference

Easy access to interactive table. Replaces a laminated chart I had. You could always do the conversions in your head but this just helps in verification of settings.

Great little app

👍🏻

So far so good..

It does was it says on the tin! Cheers.

I like!

Love the app so far. For the developers wish list: how about adding the ability to configure min & max shutter speed and aperture, so users can 'customize' the app for their equipment. For example, I don't need faster than 1/1000 or f1.8.
Thnx
