Scene Analyzer

Optimal settings from any scene

Take or upload a photo — AI analyses the light and returns a complete camera settings recommendation plus a "match what your eyes see" guide that bridges the gap between your vision and the sensor.

  • Light direction, quality, colour temperature, and dynamic range
  • Recommends aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and ND filter
  • Suggests focal lengths that match lenses you actually own
  • "Match your eye" section with shadow, highlight, and WB recovery tips

  • Local events with specific dates: markets, festivals, exhibitions
  • Per-spot AI guide: best shot, composition tips, access info

7 Built-in Calculators

Every calculation, offline

All calculators run 100% on-device. No internet needed — whether you're in a remote forest at golden hour or deep in a mountain range, they always work.

🔲

ND Filter

Enter your base exposure — get the corrected shutter speed for any ND filter from ND2 to ND1000.

△

◎

Depth of Field

Near and far focus limits, hyperfocal distance, and circle of confusion for any camera and lens combination.

Find the exact focus point that gives maximum depth of field from half the distance to infinity.

⟺
