Thank!!

[@mark-gross]

Perfect like all your videos ... BUT :-) one suggestion about the app...if i have my exposure test settings, in my opinion i want to know which filter i have to use with a fixed exposure time. For example: 5.6 | 1/125 | ISO 100 > now i want to shoot with 1 sec > which ND filter do i need? This way i cannot realize quickly with this app. Or am i wrong? Sorry for my bad english. Greetings from Germany - Mark

[@PhotoPills]

Yes, you have a point there. At the moment you need to change the filter and check the exposure time.

[@stevejarvis186]

Hi I saw a link above for all of your different guides and saw there are 15 of them. I just looked and I need to update some of the newer ones, (2021) but when I try to enter my details to receive the link to a guide its all in Spanish even though I have ticked English at the top of the page. Can you tell me how to download the newer versions of these eBooks in English please. I am a PhotoPills subscriber? Thank you

[@PhotoPills]

Hi Steve, could you send us an email to [e-mail]? Thanks!

[@keithpinn152]

Hi: I am new to Photo Pills and the Long Exposure Pill. When I press the Timer button and the time expires I don't get a 'Sound' just a vibration. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max, so is there a setting that I need to enable to hear the expired timer? Thanks, Keith

[@PhotoPills]

Hi Keith! You need to go to your iPhone settings > Notifications. And activate notifications for PhotoPills :)

[@PhotoPills]

And also check the silent mode is off

[@ShoebSaiyad]

Hi , how about changing to MF and IS off on the lenses. Thanks

[@PhotoPills]

looks good

[@daveadams547]

7 minutes of a different subject, 1 minute of exposure? 20 seconds of PhotoPills app’ all in an accent I can barely understand. I got there in the end. I just wanted to know how to use the app to calculate exposure with an nd filter.

[@PhotoPills]

Hi Dave! I hope this video helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH2pn4qblMetgJY

[@michaelangelo0305]

Shouldnt you rather underexpose your images ? Especially if you take one shots and try to capture as much as you can in your histogram

[@PhotoPills]

Overexposing a bit helps capture bring the grey (the lightmeter sees) to white :)
