Welcome to PhotoPal! ____________________ Applications Details Application : PhotoPal Version : 2.1 Release Date : 6 October 2000 Status : Freeware Author : Peter Csutora Email : peter@pocketIQ.com Internet : www.PocketIQ.com ____________ Introduction PhotoPal is a simple collection of utilities designed for serious amateur or professional photographers. Calculates hyperfocal distance, depth of field, aperture, flash distance, flash aperture, bounce distance and angle, close-up ratio, luminescence values, focal length, film speed, scanning sizes. It also features a built-in audible second ticker for bulb timing. ____________ Installation The installation file is Photopal21.SIS. There are two ways of using a *.SIS installation file: - from a PC (if PsiWin is installed), double-click on the *.SIS file (this can be done from the WinZip window, even without unzipping the *.SIS file) - from the Epoc machine itself (if there is an Add/Remove icon in the Control panel): copy the *.SIS file anywhere on your Epoc device and double-tap it. ___________ What's new? v2.1: * The EV difference calculator now calculates everything in 1/3 or 1/2 EV steps. You can also enter the EV compensation that you have dialled in on your photo camera. v2.0: * The depth of field calculation has been redesigned. There are now separate hyperfocal and distance calculators, and a new reverse depth of field calculator has also been adedd that calculates aperture and focus from the required distance values. * Film speed converter to convert between ISO and DIN (thank you for György Fleischman for this idea). * The second ticker has been redesigned, it displays the elapsed seconds in a window. The dictaphone LED also blinks if desired, and it can be used even in mute mode when only the LED blinks at every second. * New film formats were added including movie 16 mm and movie 35 mm formats. * Three new scanning calculations: file size, resolution on screen, resolution for printing. * The program can launch your favourite photo databases. There is a reciprocity failure table already included, and up to 5 new databases can be defined. * New interface, new graphical background, use of menus and toolbar. * A Help has been added to the program. ________ Features * Depth of field calculations: hyperfocal distance, near and far distance, focus and aperture calculators. * Flash calculations: flash distance, flash aperture, flash bounce calculators. * General calculations: lens choice, film speed, close-up ratio, EV difference calculators. * Scanning calculations: file size, resolution on screen, resolution for printing calculators. * Launch of databases, one database included (Reciprocity failure or films), up to 5 more databases configurable. * Second ticker, useful for better timing of long (bulb) exposures.
