ExposurePlot exif analyzer (former Focalplot)

ExposurePlot (former FocalPlot) is a new free utility that reads Exif date and analyzes your usage of the focal length of your lenses (jpeg files only), show charts for ISO, aperture and shutterspeed.

Great to determine which lens you 'really' need, or which lens did you actually use on the trip to the mountains.

With a new filter you can read EXIF info from camera, make and or model, just add a string to the filter text fields.

The program can search through subdirectories as well.

May 2011 - Exposureplot last version 1.14 - Further updates discontinued , due to easier access to program functions and routines, all future updates will be developed only for the ExposurePlot version build in Wega2, however this last "stand alone" version will still be available for download.

Highlights:

• Scans jpg images for EXIF data and creates charts
• With a filter you can read EXIF info from camera, make and or model, just add a string to the filter text fields.
• Equivalent list - Customize 35mm equivalent values for exif data without that information .
• Path list, find out where the pictures are.
• Customized search on Exif data Make and Model
• Save charts to file
• View charts 2D or 3D
• Help file
• Read Shutterspeed values as 1/100 or 0.01 (optional)
