It no longer records shutter speeds longer than 1/2 second correctly, and the interface is now far less intuitive. You’ve crippled a very capable app. Why? Update in response to developer: when I attempt to measure 1 second, it gives a nonsense value, usually in the range of 1/400th to 1/600th second. That’s what I mean when I say it no longer works for 1 second exposures. Developer responds to say they don’t understand my problem, very dismissive.
I feel like the automatic signal analysis and peak detection makes this version less than reliable than the old version. It is always dicey using an LED light source since LED light output is not constant, but I did find one that I was able to use until this update. Also, the zooming of the waveform is extremely inconsistent and I find myself fighting the app to get it to zoom in and out. Overall the old version worked better for me.
Bought a photo plug years back and I could never get the clean on and off signal as shown in their company video. The signal captured was full of noise. Until I realized that most of the iphone lighting adapters are for headphones . Until I got a "trrs (tip, ring, ring, sleeve) to lighting" adapter for microphone. Most are "trs" and will not work properly when connected to an iphone, Also ensure it's Apple MFI certified. Now it's working without issue.
I refurbished a 1965 Nikon F recently and needed to test the shutter before wasting any film. With the photo plug and my iPhone X (yeah, it’s a couple upgrades shy of new) I have some very accurate numbers to work with. I can now make adjustments inside the camera, and re test it, or just use the compensation calculations. The Photo plug and app are a no brainer for any film enthusiast that is questioning their old cameras exposures.
Got this to use with a 2018 ipad and got the photoplug as well. The audio only method works fine, but the software doesnt recognize the photoplug. Old software, i suspect the developer has lost interest.
If you know anything about cameras this is simple and easy to use. A shame to trash a perfectly good piece of software because you’re clueless. The description makes it clear that it only works to 30th without sensor and instructions are built in.
Nothing works in this app. I’m using it in iOS 13.
For old large format lenses to measure their accuracy to be able to compensate if necessary.
The Shutter Speed app and the matching Photo Plug are fantastic additions to my toolbox! Easy to use - the app is always with you when you shoot - It's great. Just look up the camera you're using that day and get really dialed in on your exposure. Even slide film. My only request? Why not measure 1/1000 sec.? I can easily measure it, but there is no place to record the measurement. Thanks and great work!
This app is excellent - zooming in/out on the waveform works nicely and it is easy to position and save measurements to the many mechanical cameras I own. It seems quite accurate between 1/1 and 1/15 even just using the built-in microphone, and that's plenty for me to perform simple checks for slow shutter speed accuracy. I've been using it mainly with SLR's, with the film door open and holding the mic close to the shutter mechanism. Thanks!
