Photo mode

This meter offers full exposure control for photographers on location or in the studio. Measurement data for flash and ambient light readings are clearly displayed on the screen, as well as ambient EV measurement. In addition to Shutter Priority Mode, the Aperture Priority Mode offers photographers carefree measurements where depth-of-field is critical.

Cine mode

Designed with the professional in mind, this light meter can take on the challenges of digital cinematography. Select from the right combination of frame rates and shutter angles to achieve the exposure control necessary with one-tenth stop accuracy. Truly universal, it offers Lux (lx) and foot-candle (fc) readout enabling a quick setup of lighting in a compact, affordable and easy-to-use design.

HD Cine mode

Gives cinematographers a compact solution for scouting locations or as a quick go-to solution while they are on set. This meter lets users select from a range of frame rates and shutter angles while measuring accurately, to within one-tenth of a stop. Also, the addition of ISO 850 greatly assists cinematographers by giving them the option of taking measurements in the native ISOs of many of today's professional cinema cameras.

Three ways to measure

• Light receptor 1 (lumisphere): Slide the mounting lumisphere to the left until it clicks to switch to incident light measurement
• Light receptor 2 (lens): Slide the built-in lumisphere to the right until it clicks into position for reflected light measurement
• Light receptor 3 (lumidisc): Slide the built-in lumisphere to the right and insert the lumidisc (sold separately) into the slot over the light receptor lens to measure flat subjects or lighting contrast with precision
