Features

Everything your camera
advisor should do.

One workflow that turns your gear and the light you're standing in into a complete, camera-specific settings recipe, with the tools to fine-tune it and learn as you go.

The complete recipe

Not just exposure. The whole card.

Most tools stop at a shutter and aperture. Shutr Scout hands you every setting that makes the shot, tuned to your exact camera, lens, and the metered light.

Plus a confidence score, the assumptions behind the recipe, and an EV recommendation, so you always know why.

Knows your exact gear

Your camera and lens, not a generic body.

170+ camera bodies, structured lens entry for primes and zooms, and automatic handling for built-in-lens compacts, DJI drones, and iPhone. Enter your gear once and it's remembered. The recipe adapts to your real focal length and widest available aperture.

Measures the light

The actual light, not "sunny" or "night."

Measure the light where you stand with a quick reading, or pull it from a reference photo. Answer four quick questions (subject, motion, lighting, and what matters most), and Shutr Scout does the rest, in the moment.

Pick your mode

Stills and video, one toggle.

Complete settings for photos and video, plus settings tuned for DJI drones, fixed or variable-aperture. Save your setups, share the settings card, and glance at the recommendation live on your Apple Watch.

Confidence & assumptions

Every card shows how confident the engine is and the assumptions it made, so you can trust it and adjust.

The exposure engine

Trustworthy settings, not a chatbot's guess.

Your recipe comes from a calibrated exposure engine built on real photographic rules. The same inputs always give the same reliable answer, instantly, on your device, there's nothing to hallucinate. It's not an AI guessing. (The optional Learn More explainers do use AI, see below.)

Every setting, explained, plus composition tips.

When you want to understand the shot, Learn More explains why each setting was chosen and its trade-offs, breaks down the Quick Fixes, and adds real composition tips for the scene, timing the wave, leaving lead room, isolating your subject. Your first 10 are free.

Learn More uses AI and the internet; the settings engine does not. See pricing.

Private by design

On-device. Offline. Yours.

The recommendation engine runs entirely on your device, no account, no signal, no waiting, and nothing to leak. The one part that uses the internet is the optional Learn More explainers, and we always say so plainly.
