exposure stop difference calculator online

Use exposure stop difference calculator online for first exposure, second exposure. Geometric or data-budget estimate. Sensor behavior, processing, focus breathing and recording overhead are excluded unless explicitly modeled.

How to use it

Enter first exposure. Set second exposure. Select Calculate and check the labeled output. Copy or download the JSON result.

Options and example settings

OptionChoices / valueExample default
first exposureMain input. Positive values. 1
second exposureOption. Positive values. 2

Calculation method

stop_change = log2(second_exposure/first_exposure) (^ means exponentiation; trig functions ending in d use degrees).

Worked examples

Apply exposure stop difference calculator to the case below, keeping the displayed units and assumptions. Geometric or data-budget estimate. Sensor behavior, processing, focus breathing and recording overhead are excluded unless explicitly modeled.

Choose the right tool

Exposure equivalence, depth-of-field equivalence and file storage describe different questions. Review whether a value is a focal length, a crop factor, a shutter time, a frame rate or a bitrate before calculating.

Limitations and common mistakes

  • Geometric or data-budget estimate. Sensor behavior, processing, focus breathing and recording overhead are excluded unless explicitly modeled.
  • Use the displayed unit in every field. Ratios and percentages are different inputs; percent fields use values such as 25 rather than 0.25.
