There are two modes here:
- Enter two camera exposures to calculate EV Difference in exposures A and B.
- Or, find an Equivalent Exposure in B, to be equal exposure as specified in A.
If just wanting to compare individual relationships (for differences of two fstops, or shutter speed, or ISO), then see the individual calculators.

The selections above provide all the possible settings. Half stops are marked with *½.
The calculator known Nominal range is large, but not quite infinite, however calculations are not limited.
The f/stop range is f/0.5 to f/512 (20 EV range).
Shutter speed range is 2048 seconds (34 minutes) to 1/32000 second (26 EV range).
ISO is from ISO 1.56 to 3276800 (21 EV range). Seems adequate.
Shutter speed range is 2048 seconds (34 minutes) to 1/32000 second (26 EV range).
ISO is from ISO 1.56 to 3276800 (21 EV range). Seems adequate.
The camera settings EV term might be misunderstood, because it is computed from only the shutter speed and f/stop values (a calculator is on next page). The EV number is computed from the camera settings applicable to whatever appropriate ISO is in use, which makes ISO in fact be all important. Tipard blu ray converter 9 1 18 download free. Numerical EV was developed when light meters were to be added into film cameras (late 1950s) to aid computing exposure. Then film speed (called ASA then, ISO today) was a temporary constant determined by the roll of film in the camera. This ISO number was identified to the camera, so the metering knew it and could compute how much the camera settings needed to change to match exposure to this film speed. The settings combination of f/16 at 1/125 second is numerically EV 15 for any ISO, but of course, those settings are chosen and only applicable for the one specific ISO currently being used. So maybe the formula to calculate EV does not include the ISO number, but of course the choice of the proper camera settings used of course depends on ISO. The camera settings are not necessarily a correct exposure unless ISO does match them to the scene. More on next page (EV Chart).
The calculator default numbers represent full bright direct sunlight. The way the exposure is said is 1/2000 second at f/11 at ISO 800 (is EV 18). An equivalent is also 1/125 second at f/16 at ISO 100 (is EV 15), or other Equivalents of course, like 1/250 at f/11 at ISO 100 (also is EV 15). All of these are the same exposure. However the EV number alone is not meaningful without specifying the corresponding ISO number.
That settings EV is that Exposure Value that a light meter would read when set to that ISO. It is how the EV Chart would be used, we would use the settings on that indicated EV chart row, for the proper metered exposure at that ISO (example next page). EV is technically computed from only the camera settings (only shutter speed and f/stop are computed), but those choices course depend on the ISO value. If we change ISO, it changes the metered EV and the settings we would select.
ISO: That settings EV is the row in the EV chart where that combination of equivalent settings is found, and might appear to be independent of ISO in that way. However, when the light meter is set to an ISO and then it meters EV X, then the EV chart row X is the right settings for a correct exposure at that same ISO. ISO is of course very important. A different ISO would meter different settings on a different EV row. So the settings (shutter speed and f/stop) are selected with attention to the ISO (cause and effect), and certainly we do get a different EV with a different ISO.
Basically, the EV number is the 'name' of the set of Equivalent Exposure combinations of f/stop and shutter speed found on that one row of the EV chart.
Light Value converts the ISO to an arbitrary but standard ISO 100 value for the purpose to compare two actual exposures at the same ISO 100 values. The number 100 is NOT a special ISO number at all, Light Value could compare by converting both readings to any same ISO number, but 100 is merely a popular convenient number. Light Value represents the corresponding relative 'brightness level', so to speak, which then would require the appropriate proper corresponding exposure. More about Light Value on next page, and the formulas are on a math page. These are still the same two exposure levels (EV 18 at ISO 800 and EV 15 at ISO 100), but when both EV are converted to same ISO 100 for easy comparison, then here, both Light Values are EV 15100, or again, same light levels require Equivalent Exposures (at the same ISO 100). The Settings numbers may not have been Equivalent, but the resulting brightness level (adjusted for ISO) of the two Light Values of the exposures are the same, and Equivalent.
In the calculator:
- Option 1. The Settings EV is the computed EV for the two settings (shutter speed and f/stop). This computed EV is the exposure performed for whatever ISO that has caused the choice of these settings. Meaning, if assuming it is a proper correct exposure for the situation, it is the exposure that a light meter would read for that ISO. So ISO is definitely an EV factor, but like if a film camera, settings EV applies to whatever film speed is in the camera that caused selection of these settings. The exposure EV uses these settings AT THAT ISO. The set of the corresponding Equivalent Exposures are those on the row in the EV chart for that EV number.Exposure Difference makes comparison of two exposures possible by first converting both EV results to ISO 100 (as if metered at the same ISO value). This arbitrary conversion to ISO 100 is called Light Value (next page). ISO 100 is Not magic nor unique nor special in any way. We could use any number, but ISO 100 is simply familiar and comfortable for us. ISO 100 is NOT special in any way, it's just a number, and only the popularity might make it seem special. It is simply convenient.If the exposure difference is positive EV, then B is greater exposure, so the B Light Value EV100 is lower numerically (a lower light value needing the greater exposure). And vice versa.
- Options 2, 3, 4 Equivalent Exposure. You can set values into B, and then specify the one value the computer can change to make it be an equivalent exposure, to be the same as is specified in A. If the settings are already an equivalent exposure (0 EV difference), then of course no visible change will occur.Options 2,3,4 work, but they only change the one setting specified. A bit of trial and error with manual adjustments first can help to choose settings more optimized to your preference.
The Compute button will recompute, but it normally has already been done automatically at any change.
The calculator's initial default values of 1/2000 second and f/11 is EV 18 at any ISO. It is a correct exposure at only one ISO. Here, the exposure is specified as EV 18 settings at ISO 800. Set a light meter to ISO 800, and it would meter EV 18 here, and the EV Chart row (next page) for EV 18 will reflect the settings necessary for ISO 800. All columns of that row EV 18 are Equivalent Exposures.
The second 1/125 second at f/16 is EV 15 at any ISO. Here exposure is the EV 15 settings at ISO 100. Set a light meter to ISO 100, and it would meter EV 15 here, and the EV Chart for row EV 15 will reflect the settings necessary for ISO 100.
Which are Equivalent Exposures, because 1/2000 f/11 to 1/125 f/16 second is +3 EV more exposure, but ISO 800 to ISO 100 is -3 EV less exposure. This is a simple case, but the numbers can get more complicated.
Exposure Value and the EV Chart is covered on the next page. But either of the initial default settings above give the same equivalent metered exposure in typical bright sunlight. Both A and B are also the Sunny 16 Rule (except Sunny16 is often 1/3 stop more exposure than the EV system meters). The actual meter doing this is shown on next page. This is two actual real world meterings of two equivalent exposures.
That concept is, for the two ISO values, the light meter reads EV 15 or 18. Look up either EV 15 or EV 18 in the EV chart, and it will show these settings appropriate for that ISO. That's what the chart's about. Since ISO 800 exposes 3 EV brighter, it offsets the faster shutter speed, so these two are Equivalent Exposures. The purpose of this calculator is to similarly compare any two exposures.
The calculators top 'EV (settings)' value is computed from the settings entered, and (assuming a correct exposure) is what a light meter will read at the working ISO, and this is the EV to look up in a EV chart for use at that ISO value. The actual camera setting choices will have already been affected by that ISO, so this EV is not further affected by the ISO that we enter now.

The entered ISO values (the working ISO actually used by the setting exposure) are used for the 'EV at ISO 100' values (often called Light Value), which simply converts both exposures from these values used, to be the same ISO 100, for purposes to compare the difference in the exposures for equality (ISO 100 is not a magic number, any SAME ISO value allows exposure comparison). The box above is organized its way to indicate that this ISO entry does not affect the top EV value again, but this ISO (now known) does affect converting to EV at ISO 100. The camera setting ISO used, and the calculator ISO entered, really must of course match for any reasonable use.
Specific example: The calculator defaults when this page loads are:A: 1/2000 second, f/11, for EV 18 at ISO 800
B: 1/125 second, f/16, for EV 15 at ISO 100.
B: 1/125 second, f/16, for EV 15 at ISO 100.

Settings EV (without effect of ISO), then EV of settings A is +3 EV more than settings B (EV is the combination of shutter speed and f/stop settings). EV of A is greater (EV 18) because the 1/2000 f/11 is less exposure of brighter light at higher ISO.
However Exposure Difference, if including ISO, then these two exposures are seen as Equivalent Exposures, because the higher ISO 800 of A compensates for its shutter speed. The EV 18 camera settings require +3 EV more ISO to be equal exposure of the EV 15 camera settings. Which of course it has that ISO here with ISO 800, so the exposures are seen Equal when adjusted to the same ISO 100 (EV100).
The Bottom Line at ISO100 shows 0 EV exposure difference (two equal exposures in this example).
There are more details about EV and LV on the EV chart next page.

F-stop printing was originally made popular by the award winning printer Gene Nocon in 1987. If you want the full explanation, you can find it in his book Photographic Printing (now out of print). Put fundamentally, F-stop printing is the conclusion to all the other methods of exposure control you have made in getting towards your negative, because an F-stop is a unit of Exposure.

Using the F-Stop Printing Calculator
The F-Stop Printing Calculator assumes you need to establish 1/4 stop increments (+ or – up to 3/4) of the base time you have entered and, either generate a new time, or an increment of an F-stop if you are burning in, or making a more precise test strip. The basic way to work would be to generate a test strip with intervals one F-stop apart (say 4, 8, 16, 32 seconds). If you think a correct exposure is half way between two that you have, enter the lower time in the F-Stop Printing Calculator, click GO! and the calculator will tell you the new time to use. So, if 8 seconds were too light, and 16 seconds too dark, the half way point is 11.3 seconds. You have the option of using 1/4 stops if you think it is not exactly halfway. If you are not sure why this works better than a straightforward linear time increase read on.
Background to F-Stop Printing
When you make an exposure in your camera, if you make a change from F8 to F5. 6, you are letting more light in by increasing the aperture by 1 F-stop. You are doubling the amount of light reaching the film. If you changed your shutter speed from 1/ 125 to 1/ 60, you are also doubling the amount of light reaching the film, by 1 F-stop, although you are using time to achieve this. If you load a 400 ISO film instead of a 200 ISO film, you are increasing the sensitivity of the film by doubling it, or 1 F-stop, but this time using the sensitivity of the emulsion to achieve this.
The idea of F-stop printing is that you continue this process through to the exposure on your photographic paper. An initial test strip could end up being 4, 8, 16 and 32 seconds, with each step exactly one F-stop apart from the next (doubling or halving the overall exposure). A linear strip might be 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 seconds giving a test strip of equal time intervals, but diminishing exposure intervals with 5 steps giving a shorter overall range than the 4 step strip. Diskwarrior 5 download. The linear approach, rather than the F-stop approach (sometimes called logarithmic or geometric), does not give even results and makes judging and burning harder.
If the shorter F-stop strip gives two steps that are too far apart (one too light and one too dark), you will need to find the smaller 1/4 or 1/2 stop times using the F-Stop Printing Calculator.
Benefits
F-stop timers use a logarithmic rather than a linear interval and, therefore, produce an easier to read test strip as the exposure differences are exactly equal.
When you get used to F-stop printing, it will deliver bonuses for you. The relationship within a print from its base time to a burn time remains constant regardless of the size of the paper. So if a burn is +3/4 stop on a 10 x 8 sheet, it will always be +3/4 stop on any size paper. Once you know that relationship, then when you do the same print at a different size, you just work out the base time and use the F-Stop Printing Calculator to work out the burn time. If your print has several burn times that are different, no problem, the relationship applies, you save loads of time in the darkroom and get consistent prints. Magic!
If you are using variable contrast paper, it is possible to work out the difference that a modification in grade (on a multigrade or colour head) will make in terms of exposure time using F-stops. That relationship will apply to that enlarger always. So, if you discover that changing from grade 2 to grade 3 requires a 1/4 stop time increase, it always will regardless of paper size.
