Platforms
One per photographer, taken from their most recent run. Everyone counts here, including people whose only run was a short test batch.
Source files
One per run. Test batches of 20 frames or fewer are left out, so a warm-up doesn't count as a real set.
Orientation
One per run. Test batches are left out. Perfectly square frames are skipped, so these two won't always add up to the run total.
GPU vs CPU
One per photographer, not per run, so someone who runs ten times on a GPU doesn't tip the split. Test batches are left out. Anyone who has used both is counted under both, so these can add up to more than the photographer total.
Most-used cameras
One per photographer, not per run, so nobody can climb the list by running the app more. Test batches are left out. Anyone who shoots two bodies is counted under both, so these can add up to more than the photographer total.
Most-used camera brands
One per photographer. Test batches are left out. Someone who shoots two makes appears under both. Unknown means the run carried no readable camera name (RAW files and stripped JPEGs don't report one).
Full frame vs crop
One per photographer. Test batches are left out. Read from the camera model, or from the crop factor (35mm-equivalent focal length) when the file reports it. "Not determined" means we couldn't tell (no readable camera name and no crop factor).
Most-used lenses
One per photographer. Test batches are left out. Lenses that report no usable name are skipped, so this list is shorter than the camera list.
Most-used focal lengths
One per photographer, rounded to the nearest millimeter. Test batches are left out. A zoom used at two lengths counts at both.
Most-used ISO
One per photographer, not per run. Test batches are left out. Anyone who shoots at several ISOs counts at each, so these can total more than the photographer count.
Most-used shutter speed
One per photographer, not per run. Test batches are left out. Anyone who shoots several shutter speeds counts at each.
Most-used aperture
One per photographer, not per run. Test batches are left out. Anyone who shoots several apertures counts at each.
Most-used full recipe
ISO, shutter speed, aperture, and focal length together, exactly as the set was shot. Counts every set rather than one per photographer, so a photographer who ran several sets shows up several times. Test batches are left out. When the lens didn't report aperture and focal length, that shows as "lens not reporting," and sets with no usable EXIF at all are grouped as "No data collected" at the bottom.
Where in the world
One per photographer. Everyone counts here, including test batches. Photographers who ran before country lookup existed aren't shown.
Versions in use
One per photographer, taken from their most recent run, so this shows what people are on today rather than every version they've ever used.
On an average run
Runs over 20 frames only. The app asks people to try a short batch first, and those warm-ups would drag every average down, so they're left out.

Trails removed per frame
Most lists rank by the number of photographers using each item, so one heavy user can't skew them, and they grow as more gear is seen. The exceptions are noted on each card. Short test batches of 20 frames or fewer don't count toward the gear and settings lists. No images, file names, or any personal information is ever collected.
