How it works
What it does
Tap the 'What Should I Do' button (or panic button, depending on the UI) and a big, clear modal appears with simple exposure recommendations: 'Set your aperture to F/2.8, shutter to 1/250, and ISO to 400.' This is the recommended exposure for the scene you just measured, in plain language.
When to use it
When you are learning, when you have a camera with confusing controls, or when you just want a clear answer without thinking about stops and EVs. The panic button bypasses all the meter complexity and tells you the settings in simple terms.
What it shows
Three pieces of information: the recommended aperture (e.g., F/5.6), the recommended shutter speed (e.g., 1/125), and a note about ISO (e.g., 'at ISO 400'). These are derived from the current metering reading and your selected film stock and exposure priority.
No meter thinking required
You do not have to know EV, zones, or stops. Just read the three numbers and set your camera. The meter has done all the math.
