CaptureReady

Plan every shot with confidence. Track golden hour, monitor weather, and get exposure settings worked out for your exact camera, right on your phone.

Know when the light will be perfect. Master your exposure. Never miss golden hour again.

CaptureReady helps photographers plan better shoots with powerful tools for light, weather, exposure, and gear, all in one app.

SETTINGS FOR YOUR CAMERA, NOT A GENERIC ONE

Look up your camera from a built-in database of over 3,600 models and CaptureReady learns its real ISO range, shutter limits and sensor size. Type your lens name and it reads the focal length and maximum aperture straight out of it.

Then describe what you are shooting and get a starting point: ISO, aperture, shutter speed, which mode dial position to use, and the reasoning behind all of it in plain English. The exposure maths is calculated, never guessed, so the numbers are always physically correct. On supported iPhones the explanation is written by Apple Intelligence, entirely on your device.
