Enter the values below. Every quantity identifies its unit or meaning.

Formula / methodISO = 100 ร— 2^(scene EV โˆ’ EV100 from aperture and shutter).

How to use this calculator

What to enter

Enter or select the following as requested: Scene EV at ISO 100; Aperture (f-number); Shutter speed (seconds). Follow the units, valid ranges, examples, and options displayed beside each field.

What the result means

The imaging or media result estimates dimensions, exposure relationships, storage, bitrate, field of view, or transfer time from the camera, file, lens, or encoding values entered. Check units, sensor/crop assumptions, codec, frame rate, compression, and whether the result is theoretical or based on actual file metadata.

When to use it

Use this to plan camera settings, storage, export quality, or media transfer. Treat calculated file sizes and exposure outcomes as estimates when the camera, codec, scene, or platform may vary.
