ShutterCue vs f/64

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.

f/64 is a camera with one promise: what the sensor saw is what you keep. PURE RAW Every shot saves a true Bayer RAW (DNG) next to the HEIC. No AI, no computational tricks, no Deep Fusion, no Smart HDR. Your negative, untouched. FULL MANUAL Shutter speed, ISO, exposure bias, focus and white balance, each on its own precise dial with real photographic stops. Lock any parameter, keep your settings between sessions. TOOLS THAT MATTER - Focus peaking, zebra stripes and a focus loupe - Live luminance histogram - All lenses including the 8x sensor crop - RAW exposure brackets (hold the shutter) - Subject tracking, AE/AF lock, horizon level - 1:1, 4:3 and 16:9 framing; the DNG always keeps the full sensor - Optional watermark and an Instagram-ready story card - Optional geotagging QUIET DESIGN A monochrome interface that stays out of your way, rich haptics and signature sounds. Photos go straight to your library; the app collects nothing about you. FREE, HONESTLY No ads, no subscriptions, no locked features, ever. If f/64 saves you a shot you love, there is a voluntary tip jar in the settings. Named after Group f/64, Ansel Adams and friends, who believed a photograph should be sharp, honest and made by hand.
