Prepare your next shoot—not just your next setting.
ShotInstruct is an offline photography field guide for beginners and practical hobbyists. It turns 10 common shooting situations into calm, repeatable plans with gear guidance, camera settings to try first, composition cues, and persistent checklists.
A PLAN FOR THE SCENE
Choose landscape, portrait, macro, sports and action, street, architecture, food, long exposure, astrophotography, or time-lapse photography. Each field recipe brings together:
• required and optional gear
• scene conditions to check
• contextual aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and focus starting points
• three composition cues
• common pitfalls and safety notes
• a checklist that keeps its progress
FOUR PHOTOGRAPHY CALCULATORS
Plan with tools for:
• ND filter exposure time
• depth of field and hyperfocal distance
• the 500 Rule for stars
• time-lapse intervals and duration
Each result includes assumptions and limits so you know what to verify in the field.
SAVE WHAT MATTERS
Save recipes, learning topics, and tools. Search in English or Ukrainian and return quickly to useful guidance. Favorites, checklist progress, preferences, and recent activity stay on your device.
READY OFFLINE
Core guides, instructional media, search, and calculators are included with the app. No account. No ads. No in-app analytics or tracking.
LEARN, TEST, ADJUST
Understand why a starting point works and what should make you change it. ShotInstruct is an educational reference, not a guarantee for every camera or scene. Take a test photo and adjust for your lens, light, subject, equipment limits, local rules, output, and creative intent.

ShotInstruct 2.0 is a complete rebuild for real-world shoots. New: 10 structured field recipes, persistent checklists, contextual camera settings, composition cues, safety notes, English and Ukrainian search, and redesigned Home, Learn, Shoot, Tools, and Saved areas. Four calculators now explain results and assumptions more clearly. Refreshed light, dark, and system themes; core guidance remains available offline.
