Features
PHOTO mode
This light meter takes the mystery out of mixing ambient light and flash. Select the measurement mode that fits your shooting style with just the touch of your fingertip. Measure the brightness of a single light source or the exposure for the entire scene. Rest assured that every measurement is backed with the most accurate readings via Exposure Profiling System that matches and compensates for your DSLR exposure characteristics.
HD_CINE/CINE mode
This light meter has motion capture modes accommodating today's sophisticated video and CINE camera systems. With the touch of your finger, select the shutter speeds, frame rates, and shutter angles for your camera. Create unique frame rates and shutter angles for special effects. For quick and creative shoots, select your favorite custom-stored compensation filter or gel pack. Via the Exposure Profiling System, every measurement is accurate and precise.
Flash analyzing function
This meter offers a quick and easy way to balance flash and ambient light with one press of the measuring button. That's because they measure ambient and flash simultaneously and automatically indicate the percentage of flash in the total exposure. Touch the screen to adjust the settings to get the perfect ambient-to-flash ratio. The analog display uses color bars to graphically display the relationship between the ambient and flash levels.
Infinite frame rate/shutter angle
Special effects and light sources can push standard camera settings to their limits. That's why this meter also allows the creation of unique frame rates and shutter angles of up to 20 user-customized values to enable precise exposure and lighting, producing the very best images and reducing time in post-production.
Unique filtration compensation mode
Like all light and exposure meters, this light meter is calibrated for visual light. Because meters can't measure filtered light by design, a unique Filter mode was added that enables getting exact light levels with touchscreen ease. Touch this meter to instantly call up light source or camera filtration expressed in industry standard terms. For special filters or applications, create a unique filter factor and give it a name. Up to four filters can be used together as a pack to assure full control in virtually any situation.
