EV Difference Calculator

Use this page to calculate the exposure difference in stops/EVs between two images by inputting the shutter speed, aperture, ISO and ND filter reduction (if any).

Image B:

Fill in the fields above, the result will be shown here.

  • Shutter Speed is in seconds, and supports fractions. E.g.
    1/4000
    for 1/4000th of a second, or
    30
    for 30 seconds.
  • Aperture should be without the "F/". E.g.
    8
    for F/8, or
    2.2
    for F/2.2.
  • ISO is as you'd expect. If left blank, will default to
    100
    .
  • In the Filter box, type the number of EVs/stops that your filter darkens an image. E.g. for a 3-stop filter (AKA "ND8") type
    3
    , or a 12-stop filter (AKA "ND4096") type
    12
    . If no filter was used, leave it blank or type
    0
    .
