by Lukas Fritz
Shutter-Speed is an app for testing the shutters of analog cameras.

There you also find further information about this App.Together with the PhotoPlug, this App transforms your smartphone into an optical shutter speed tester for analog cameras.
Just open the back of the camera, point the lens towards a bright light source and position the PhotoPlug behind the camera.
Once you release the shutter, the App will display a waveform with two peaks: One peak when the shutter opens, another one when the shutter closes.
The time between those peaks reassembles the shutter speed of your camera.
The App also calculates a deviation value in f-stops and allows you to save measurements to your phone.Acoustic mode: The App will also work without the optional PhotoPlug sensor.
Without the sensor, the App records the sound of the camera shutter (shutter release sound).
This works, because the shutter makes a noise when it opens and closes.
Please note that this is only suitable for shutter speeds slower than 1/30sec.

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about this Android app.
"Works well with the optional sensor. Would like to have 1/400 speed and a way to export the results."
"If you buy the photo plug optical interface this app works accurately. However, it is cumbersome to use as you have to input the desired shutter speed each and every time. Just checking any single lens or camera is a very slow process. It would be great if the developer would update the software to allow more automated measurements. A direct readout of the measured shutter speed would make this very competitive , for which I would be willing to pay as much as $20."
"Works pretty good, would be nice to have a 1/400 speed option available for my large format shutters"
"Its trash app not recommended"
"Doesn't work anymore."
"Helps you measure shutter speed by recording sound. You then pick the opening and closing moments on the waveform and the app tells you the time between. Gives an idea if your shutters are accurate or way off. I use a lot of older cameras 1890s to 1960s and find this useful. However, no documentation or instructions."
"Does the job testing 1/125 speeds on my old SLRs. Just try to get the peak when the opening curtain opens and the closing courtain closes. I needed to keep the mirror locked up during measuring. Check other reviews for more insights. Great app!"
"No intructions"
"You need the adapter...DUH! Got mine from CatLabs"
"Incredibly simple, and works, if you READ THE DESCRIPTION. It's only meant for ***under 1/30 with sound only***, above that requires an optical sensor. No, it doesn't have detailed instructions, it doesn't really need them. The whole app is like three buttons and two sliders, pinch to zoom, very intuitive if you've ever used an app. Negative reviews are mind boggling. I feel bad for the developer having to deal with so many idiots!"
