THIS IS THE AD-FREE VERSION OF PHOTOGRAPHER'S COMPANION WITH MORE FEATURES.
This application will help you to abandon the automatic mode of your cameras that does not do everything and control everything. For more experienced photographers, it can simplify the settings by doing the calculations for you.
In any case, it is not a magic application to make beautiful pictures every time, but it will allow you to find a basic setting to refine to get the best picture you think.
It is aimed at professional or amateur photographers (basic knowledge is required) and offers the tools to:
- Calculate the alternative/equivalent exposure (manages the ND filter and long exposures)
- Calculate the depth of field, hyperfocal and simulation of Bokeh
- Calculate the field of view
- Calculate the shutter speed to freeze the motion of a subject
- Capture/Photograph sunrise/sunset, the golden hour and the blue hour
- Get the position of the sun, time of sunrise/sunset, golden hours, blue hours and monthly calendar
- Capture/Photograph the moon based on the phase of the day
- Capture/Photograph moonlit landscapes
- Capture/Photograph lunar eclipse
- Get the position of the moon, the hour of moonrise/moonset and the monthly calendar
- Capture/Photograph the stars, the milky way without or with star trails (Simulator)
- Capture/Photograph the northern lights
- Capture/Photograph the lightning and the fireworks
- Calculate the best setting for an EV (exposure value) given
- Calculate distance or aperture with a flash
- Calculate the optimum settings according to the lighting of the place (Light Meter), the reflectance (albedo) of the subject and measure light color temperature (requires RGB light sensor)
- Calculate for the macro photo the possible magnification with a close-up lens or an extension tube
- Calculate the print size
- Time lapse
- Planner for landscape photos
- Black and white film developing
- Calculate the reciprocity failure
- Get/Set the characteristics of a camera (sensor size, crop factor, sensor resolution, ISO range, shutter speed range, circle of confusion) and set your favorites
- Tools
. Augmented reality for the Sun, the Moon and the Milky Way
. Countdown
. Compass
. Bubble level
. Torch
. Notepad
. Photographic composition (rule of thirds, diagonal, triangle, golden ratio, golden spiral)
. Compose your photos with the colors (chromatic circle)
- Film sensitivity table (ISO, ASA, DIN, GOST)
- Night mode
- Data Import/Export
Do not hesitate to contact me, if you have ideas for changes, improvements, any bugs or for translations (stefsoftware@gmail.com).

Dec 26, 2019 This is an update on my earlier review. It's taken a few more days to figure the app out. The reflected light (camera) feature is where I was getting permission errors. But my Galaxy S9 has a light sensor and that feature is designed for cameras that don't have one. Everything is working, the calibration feature a plus. I'm still on the learning curb. The app has a lot to offer and will be using it often. Video tutorials would be a plus for an app with this level of depth.more

What’s Subpar
No option for my Camera.. Canon RP which is a well known and popular camera. Why isn't it an option?

Excellent companion app for any budding photographer. I'm a bit confused by the latest update regarding lens setup and selection though and the help pages haven't been updated yet

I purchased Photographer's Companion Pro for the dof feature, that in itself is worth the small amount I paid. After spending more time with the app I found so much other functionality that before I have also had to calculate manually. I give this 5 stars because of the intuitive interface and the richness of the functionality. I have a lot more to explore but I'm looking forward to it.

I really like the DOF calculation and the flash photography calcs. It allows you to enter cameras and lenses not already in the database (and you will probably have to do that. But fortunately, it's easy to do. It came with the Olympus lenses of the DSLR 14 - 54 and the m43s 12-40 f/2.8, I had to enter all my other lenses, including my small fleet of Canon FL legacy lenses. It had all the Oly cameras I needed, but lacked the E-M5 III, again, easy to add. To avoid wading through the camera and lens database, the program allows you to identify up to 3 cameras and 6 lenses as favorites, making switching between the favorites fast and easy. For me, the biggest negative was the web-based help screens. They oddly, I thought, gave you lots of pretty good background information, but I thought were a little skimpy on immediate instructions on why and how to use the tools. I've got a lot of years in photography, including formal USAF training, so for me, it wasn't a significant problem. But for Newbies, I think the instructions might be a bit confusing. Well worth the $1.99 I spent on it.
