I now have the Sony Ericsson W810i. I checked on my PC and the pictures the phone camera takes do contain EXIF information. I am looking for an application that I can install on my phone that will let me see the EXIF information. I am interested in aperture, shutter speed and ISO, the rest is not important.
I want to use the phone as a light meter for my film camera when I am shooting in low light situations (800 ISO film pushed to 3200 ISO at f/1.8). The camera's light meter does not work when light levels are low, and I do not want to have to drag my digital along when I already will have my cellphone with.
Spelling... Been out of school for too long.

There's a freeware called Exifer (google it up), but it possibly corrupts Original Exifs, so be carful when handling challenge entries with that.
Kirbic recently suggested IrfanView to me (albeit in another context). I still have to get hold of it, but I think it's handy for reading EXIF data.

Konrad, basic light meters can be bought fairly inexpensively and would be much better suited for the task than a cell phone.

A wonderful idea.......
ArcSoft - a interesting company that I am familiar with for a program called PhotoMontage - also has a program for cell phone management. You can look at it here: ArcSoft |

The problem is all the basic light meters that I have been able to find cheaply don't work so well in the dark. The camera I'm using has a light meter, but it doen't work in low light. |

why do you think your cell phone is going to meter any more accurately in the dark then a light meter, or the real camera?
this thread might help you out if you'd like to accurately calculate the exposure settings needed for night time photos.
