Camera Light Meter is a photographic reflective exposure meter that uses the Android camera for exposure metering (by reading the exif). This app is useful for photographers using an analogue/film camera without a light meter.

Features:
- Simple user interface
- Zoom for spot metering (supported on most devices)
- Remembers and applies your last used ISO to new exposure readings
- Wide range of camera settings makes this app useful for pinhole or low sensitivity film/paper (you must still remember to manually compensate for reciprocity failure)
- ISO 1.6 to 25600
- Shutterspeed 1/8000 to 16 minutes
- Aperture f/1024 to f/0.7

Before using this app in the field for the first time, or on a new device, it's a good idea to verify the exposure using another light meter or a digital camera. This is to make sure that metering works as expected on your device.
