• Built-in camera functionality for exposure calculations
• Manual input option for EV readings from any light meter
• Option to enter time metering for reciprocity effect computation
• Exposition timer and bubble level for precise shots
• In-depth light meter features including spot-metering and incident metering
• Aperture input selection from a predefined list of over 170 pinhole cameras or manual computation
• Automatic compensation for film reciprocity (incorporating over 60 different curves) or manual curve adjustments
• Capability to save, restore, and preset combinations of aperture settings, predefined cameras, ASA values, and reciprocity settings
• Diverse selection of built-in filters (e.g., red filter, ND filter) with easy access to favorites and option to add custom filters

  For cameras beyond the listed models, customized settings can be configured in the app.

  In the Settings section:

  • Scales adjustment available in increments of ½ EV or ⅓ EV for fine-tuning exposure settings
  • Bellows correction feature can be enabled/disabled conveniently for view camera users
  • Precision adjustments allowed for cell and incident metering constants
  • Option to start the timer automatically or manually as per preference
  • Behavior customization for log entries available for enhanced usability.

  Please note: Pinhole Assist functions solely as an exposure calculator and does not capture images directly. It is tailored to facilitate traditional (or DSLR) photograph creation using a pinhole camera.
