Description of Photographer's companion

/! THIS IS NOT AN APPLICATION TO TAKE PHOTOS, BUT TO HELP TO PERFORM SETTINGS IN MANUAL MODE ON A CAMERA OR A DEDICATED APPLICATION.
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 (/! The camera must be adjusted manually).
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 hours and the blue hours
- Get the position of the sun, time of sunrise/sunset, golden hour, blue time and monthly calendar
- Capture/Photograph the moon based on the phase of the day
- Capture/Photograph moonlit landscapes
- 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)
- Calculate for the macro photo the possible magnification with a close-up lens or an extension tube
- Calculate the print size
- Time lapse
- Get/Set the characteristics of a camera (sensor size, crop factor, sensor resolution, ISO range, shutter speed range, circle of confusion)
A countdown is available for long exposures.
If this app is right for you, you can switch to Photographer's Companion Pro (no ads with more features).

    Just downloaded it, started to play around with it, I must be honest it's a quite impressive job you did. I will continue with the free version for a while, but I'm sure I will buy the pro version soon, not only for the features but to give a little push to the maker so he can improve whatever he thinks should be improved.

    Very useful and nearly best among apps available free. Variety of tools available for calculations is also amazing. To be precise, it has many plus points. Only request is to replace sheep with Man as Object in field of view section. I think this will give better simulation. I am loving this app.

    Has been a great app for the time I've used it. Though it seems recently I'm not able to use the compass heading feature anymore (for finding things like galactic center) compass locked or unlocked the app doesnt seem to use the phones gyroscope anymore:(
