Lightning-fast camera settings reference. Modern mirrorless cameras have hundreds of menu items. ShutterCue gives you a confident starting point instead: pick your camera and lens, choose what you're shooting and the light you're in, and get a ready-to-dial ISO, aperture, and shutter speed — plus the exact Nikon Z menu settings for the moment and plain-language advice on why. No account. No internet required. Just fast, trustworthy answers in the field. WHAT YOU GET • A ready-to-dial exposure: ISO, aperture, and shutter, solved for your gear, scenario, and light. • The right Nikon Z menu settings: AF-area mode, subject detection, drive/release mode, and metering — automatically reconciled to what YOUR body actually supports. • Plain-language advice: why these settings, and what to watch for (it'll tell you when ISO is pinned or the light is fading). • Two ways in: "Dial It In" (you pick the gear) or "Gear Me Up" (tell it the subject, it suggests the body, lens, light, and time of day from your kit). • My Gear: add the cameras and lenses you own and everything filters to what's in your bag. • Profiles: save your favorite setups for one-tap recall. • Tap any value to fine-tune it, and tap "Why these settings?" to learn the reasoning. • Share a recommendation as text — perfect for notes, a shoot plan, or helping a friend. BUILT FOR NIKON Z ShutterCue v1 is tuned for Nikon Z bodies and a growing catalog of Z-mount and FTZ-adapted lenses (Nikkor Z, plus Sigma, Tamron, and Viltrox). It understands variable-aperture zooms, the crop factor on DX bodies, in-body stabilization, and how AF features differ across bodies. HOW IT WORKS ShutterCue blends curated, photographer-authored knowledge with real exposure math (the APEX exposure triangle, the reciprocal hand-shake rule, and the 500-rule for stars). Same gear + scenario + light always gives the same answer. These are expert starting points, not a replacement for your light meter. Check your histogram — ShutterCue gets you in the ballpark fast so you can spend your attention on the photograph. Offline-first. Private by design — your gear and profiles stay on your device.
