Light Intel keeps the process short enough to disappear when the moment arrives.
- 01
Point at the scene
Frame the light you want to understand. The rear camera begins reading as soon as you open the meter.
- 02
Choose your intent
Pick Everyday, Portrait, Action, or Landscape so the recommendation reflects the photograph you’re trying to make.
- 03
Carry settings to camera
Start with the recommended shutter, aperture, and ISO. Then use exposure compensation when the subject or your taste calls for it.
Private by design
Your scene stays yours.
Analysis happens on your device while the meter is open. Light Intel doesn’t save photos or video, doesn’t require an account, and doesn’t include analytics, ads, or tracking SDKs.

Before you ask
Field notes.
Is Light Intel an incident light meter?
No. It is a reflected-light meter derived from the rear camera’s exposure response. Like a camera meter, very bright or dark subjects can call for exposure compensation.
Does it take or save pictures?
No. Camera frames are processed on device while the meter is open and are not captured, saved, or uploaded.
Will it work with my camera?
The recommendations use standard shutter speed, aperture, and ISO values, so they’re useful with most digital and film cameras that offer manual exposure control.
Why is it $0.99?
Light Intel is intentionally small and focused. The launch price keeps it an easy addition to a photographer’s field kit without turning a simple meter into a subscription.
