The perfect companion for an old school film shooter.
Do you own an old antique film camera with no light meter built in? Getting too lazy to bring a separate light meter and notepad with you every time you want to go shoot with it? I was in the same boat, but now my life is simplified.
Meter light with Tiny Light Meter by using the camera to snap a shot and calculate the correct exposure based on the EXIF data. The app always uses aperture priority and calculates the shutter speed in real time.
Record your own film exposure data by using the film log. You no longer have to use a notebook to write down the settings you used for each frame. Simply create a new roll of film, and hit the big red button to start taking information about each frame.
Film logs are recorded and stored in Comma Separated Values (CSV), so they can be imported into Excel or Numbers to be analyzed. They can be shared easily by email or Dropbox if you have it installed.
You've just turned your phone into a light meter and notepad. Give it a whirl, it's fast and easy.
Photography buffs - you can practice your eye by playing "Guess the exposure!" Get faster and better by shooting manual. Soon you can walk into a room and know exactly what to dial into your camera.
Please refrain from giving low ratings if your phone is not compatible. Instead, please contact your phone manufacturer and try to convince them to embed exposure data in their JPEG Exifs!
Recent changes: Changed api call back to the default when opening camera... thanks fragmentation!
Changed temporary jpeg location for exif reading to internal storage instead of external micro sd card.
Added max shutter speed and camera preview orientation/rotation for some Samsung phones.
Added compatibility check, fixed bug where TLM would sometimes crash when powering off the screen after a reading. Also fixed battery drain when the screen is powered off but TLM is not shut down.

Awesome - best meter I've tried so far! Works great on my Samsung Captivate (SGH-i896, Froyo, un-rooted). I'm using it for my medium-format Mamiya Super 23. Hoping for custom ISO settings soon so I can use it to help me figure out the correct exposure for infrared film!

Xperia Arc Metering Works really well. Mamiya C330 and Kodak portra
★★★★★
Using on my Milestone. Worth the price! With this app I can reliably dial in the manual f1.8 50mm with a modern dslr that can't meter a lens that old.
★★☆☆☆
Review The more I use, I am doubting its accuracy. After further tests, I find out that it gives great over exposure, 3 stops at least. This, despite verifying my settings.
★★☆☆☆
Inconsistent result It gives inaccurate reading under harsh light and outdoor condition. They are around 3 stops under exposure. But it's ok under indoor and soft light.
