ClarityHow to use this tool
- Enter starting duration, additional exposure stops.
- Select Calculate to view the result.
- Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.
The method, explained
New duration = original duration × 2^stops.
Using starting duration = 0.01 seconds, additional exposure stops = 3 stops, the result is 0.08 seconds. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.
What to keep in mind
Positive stops increase exposure time; aperture and ISO are unchanged. An ideal geometric or exposure estimate. Lens behavior, stabilization, sensor crop and scene conditions may change practical results.
Common questions
Which inputs does this calculation need?
Adjust shutter duration by a specified number of stops. Enter starting duration in seconds, additional exposure stops in stops. The filled example is editable and is not a saved personal record.
How should I interpret the result?
Positive stops increase exposure time; aperture and ISO are unchanged. An ideal geometric or exposure estimate. Lens behavior, stabilization, sensor crop and scene conditions may change practical results.
