Exposure Assist Tools

Reviews from the App Store
Forget the Sony Remote
Used the app for photographing the eclipse (iPad, Sony a7c camera). I was considering buying the Sony remote, but decided to try this instead. It exceded expectations in supplying far more bracketing options than the in-camera settings, and being able to see and set all of the important options (F-stop, SS, ISO, bracketing/intervals) without looking at the camera (mounted at an awkward angle in the tripod).
A feature that I didn’t bargain for was the instant appearance of thumbnails on the screen, showing me what I was actually capturing live, and which you can open to full screen on the fly while the camera is working. All of these features make it much more valuable than a simple handheld key-fob type remote, and well worth the purchase price.
I was worried about connectivity, and during about 2 hours of photographing, had one instance of connection loss. This involves reestablishing connection through the camera (it may have also involved closong and re-starting the app — I can’t remember, as it happened while I was distracted with other tasks). Regardless, an annoyance, but not deal-killing, and also not a huge deal as the app does a good job of remembering previous settings and picking up where it left off.
Also rewarding was the very prompt and personal attention by the developer – makes you feel good about doing business with an actual human being who cares about their product and customers. Thanks Grzegorz!
