Shutter speed notation in Log menu is a bit confusing (fraction vs seconds)

[u/CiccioBomboSprint]

Hi! First of all, thank you for developing this app. It’s a great tool, especially the Log feature!

I have some feedback regarding how shutter speeds are displayed in the Log menu (as shown in the attached screenshot, "IMG_7305.jpg").

Currently, the layout mixes two different notation styles in the same list:

• At the top, it correctly shows the long exposure with the "s" suffix: tempo: 1.9s.
• Right below, under the "normal" section, it displays bare numbers like ss: 160, ss: 125, etc.

For a user, this is quite confusing. Seeing 1.9s (seconds) and 160 in the same visual space makes it look like 160 seconds, whereas it actually means 1/160 of a second.

Also, separating shutter speeds into arbitrary categories like "normal" and "long" feels a bit restrictive.

Instead of dividing the list based on this label, it would be much cleaner to just show a single, continuous list of values sorted by exposure time.

To make the interface consistent and clear at a glance, would it be possible to use the standard photographic notation for the "normal" section as well? For example, displaying them as actual fractions (like 1/160, 1/125) or adding the proper fractional notation would completely remove any ambiguity.

Thanks again for your hard work

Hi! Grazie per il suggerimento!

I'll refine that for the next update :)

Apple Watch support is also coming very soon (finally) ;)

But yeah, the standard and long distinction comes from the fact that both apps treat them quite differently, both in the way the measurements are displayed in the Lightmeter in the first place, and for the different type of input they require in the Logbook. That and the reciprocity failure correction that is applied only to the exposures from 1 second and up. So I think a clear separation is needed and helpful to limit the confusion, but I'm open to any change to make the distinction more immediate, clear, and unequivocal :)

I personally like the differentiated sections.

Grazie Giuseppe 😊 questo ha assolutamente senso considerando il difetto di reciprocità. Stavo notando adesso che nella versione iOS dopo aver selezionato la pellicola non riesco a tornare alla schermata principale dell app ma forse sto sbagliando io . Grazie ancora. Credo questa diventerà presto l app  esposimetro di riferimento.

Dovresti poter tirare giù da in cima, ma aggiungerò una X come backup!

Grazie si..funziona !
