bellows exposure compensation calculator online

Use bellows exposure compensation online for extension mm, focal mm. Geometric or data-budget estimate. Sensor behavior, processing, focus breathing and recording overhead are excluded unless explicitly modeled.

How to use it

Enter extension mm. Set focal mm. Select Calculate and check the labeled output. Copy or download the JSON result.

Options and example settings

OptionChoices / valueExample default
extension mmMain input. Positive values. 100
focal mmOption. Positive values. 50

Calculation method

exposure_factor = (extension_mm/focal_mm)^2; compensation_stops = 2*log2(extension_mm/focal_mm) (^ means exponentiation; trig functions ending in d use degrees).

Worked examples

Apply bellows exposure compensation 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.

Bellows Exposure Compensation — worked case

Settings: focal mm: 50

Input:

100

Calculated result for these inputs:

Output:

{
  "exposure_factor": 4,
  "compensation_stops": 2
}

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.
