Photos Per Hour Calculator

Enter your camera's frame rate (FPS) - this is how many frames your camera can capture per second.
Input your shutter speed in seconds (or fractions of a second like 1/1000). For example, 1/1000 is entered as 0.001.
Select the image quality setting from the dropdown. Higher quality settings will result in larger file sizes and potentially slower processing, reducing the number of photos per hour.
Enter the time it takes to capture one photo, including any processing time. A value of 0.5 means you can take 2 photos per second.
Click the "Calculate" button to see your estimated photos per hour, total photos in 8 hours, and estimated runtime.

The calculator shows three key metrics:

Photos Per Hour: The number of photos your camera can theoretically take in one hour under the specified conditions.
Total Photos in 8 Hours: An estimate of how many photos you could take in an 8-hour period.
Estimated Runtime: The time it would take to reach your target number of photos (e.g., 8 hours) based on your current settings.

This calculator helps you plan photography sessions, especially for long-duration shoots like weddings or events. Keep in mind that:

Real-world performance may vary due to factors like autofocus, lens limitations, and battery life.
Higher frame rates typically require more storage space and processing power.
Some cameras may have limitations on maximum shooting speed.
Consider buffer capacity and cooling requirements for extended shooting sessions.
