FilmMate

Load the film. Nail the frame.

Real-time metering built for film cameras. Aperture, shutter, and film ISO—figured out before you press the shutter.

Live metering

See the light—don’t guess it

Use the rear camera to read ambient brightness, calculate EV100, and show over/underexposure cues. Tap the viewfinder to move the metering point.

  • Average · Center · Spot Cycle three metering modes. Center-weighted emphasizes the middle of the frame.
  • Meter lock Lock the reading so exposure doesn’t drift while you recompose.
  • Sunny 16 reference Match classic daylight steps—sunny, overcast, shade, and more.

Exposure control

Shoot the way you already think

Aperture priority, shutter priority, or manual. Compensation, ND, and focal length are adjustable—and suggested shutters respect your body’s range.

Aperture / shutter / manual

Hold one side; solve the other—or set both yourself.

±3 EV compensation

Third-stop steps to protect highlights or lift shadows.

ND 0–10 stops

Fold filter density into the exposure suggestion.

Focal length assist

Tune for the lens you’re on, and lock the reading when needed.

Cameras & film

Your body and this roll

Add the film cameras and stocks you use. Switch them on the meter; optionally sync ISO to the active film. Suggested shutters stay within the body’s range.

  • Brand catalogs Pick models from camera and film brand lists to build your library.
  • Shutter range Respect shortest/longest speeds and flash sync.
  • Film ISO Color negative, B&W, slide, cinema—carry ISO into the meter.

On-device first

Metering stays on your phone

Brightness and exposure math run locally. Metering frames aren’t uploaded. No account, no ads, no analytics SDK.
