Lumina is a precision light meter designed for film photographers. Turn your iPhone into a professional-grade metering tool with real-time exposure analysis powered by Metal GPU rendering.
METERING MODES
- Spot: Precise single-point metering for critical exposure control
- Center-Weighted: Classic center-biased metering for balanced readings
- Matrix: Advanced 3D matrix metering with scene analysis, highlight protection, and film latitude awareness
- Distance: Real-time LiDAR depth measurement for zone focusing and hyperfocal calculations (Pro iPhones)
LIDAR DISTANCE
On Pro iPhones with LiDAR, Lumina measures real-time distance to your subject — right in the viewfinder. Invaluable for manual focus lenses, zone focusing, and nailing critical focus in the field.
ZONE SYSTEM
Real-time Ansel Adams Zone System display (Zone 0–X) lets you visualize exactly where your scene falls — from deep shadows to pure highlights.
EXPOSURE TOOLS
- Live histogram with luminance distribution
- False color overlay for instant exposure mapping
- Zebra stripes for highlight and shadow warnings
- Aperture priority, shutter priority, and manual modes
- ±3 EV compensation with third-stop precision
FILM STOCK PROFILES
Built-in presets for popular film stocks including Portra, Ektar, Tri-X, HP5+, Velvia, and more. Lumina adjusts metering behavior based on each film's dynamic range — slide films get aggressive highlight protection while negative films maximize shadow detail.
BUILT FOR FILM
- EV100 readout with 1/3 and 1/2 stop increments
- Full ISO, aperture, and shutter speed controls
- Calibration offset for matching your handheld meter
- Clean, dark interface designed for use in the field
