Panorama Calculator
Calculate how many shots you need to cover a panorama, given your lens, sensor, and desired overlap. Use it when planning stitched panoramas to avoid gaps between frames.

Exposure Calculator
Find the equivalent shutter speed when you change aperture, keeping overall exposure constant. Essential when switching f-stops mid-shoot without altering brightness.

Between 1/60s and 0.5s, handheld shake is likely below the 1/focal-length rule. Brace the camera or use stabilization to stay sharp.
Shutter speed scales with the square of the aperture ratio; this bands the resulting exposure time in seconds against camera-shake and tripod rules.
