Exposure Match Calculator
A tiny static web app that calculates equivalent camera exposure settings between a reference camera (A) and a target camera (B).
How it works
The app uses exposure equivalence:
(N² / t) × (100 / ISO) = constant
Equivalent rearranged form:
t₂ = t₁ × (N₂² / N₁²) × (ISO₁ / ISO₂)
Where:
N= f-number (aperture)t= shutter time in secondsISO= sensor sensitivity value
Usage
- Open the app in your browser.
- Fill all values for Camera A (reference).
- In Camera B (target), enter exactly two values and leave one empty.
- Click Calculate Missing Value.
- The app computes the missing target value for equal exposure.

Notes
- Shutter input supports values like
1/250,0.004, or2. - Calculator is for technical equivalence; real-world image differences (noise, lens transmission, dynamic range) still apply.
