Primarily used by entry-level users, long-time shooters can also turn to this light meter as an accurate, portable, and backup meter. Moreover, the compact design fits nicely on classic cameras without built-in exposure meters.

Features

• Instant reading of aperture/shutter combinations with a dial ring: The analog dial gives you a full range of exposure settings at a single glance
• Shoe mounting on a camera: The included shoe is mounted using a shoe mounting plate, and the mounting location of the plate is variable; therefore mount it correctly for the camera that you are using
• One-hand operation: It is possible to operate with one hand by using the guide needle position retained during 15 seconds after measurement
• A clip-on meter for both incident and reflected light measurements

Selection of reflected or incident light measurement at one touch of sliding the lumisphere

Select reflected or incident light measurement by sliding the lumisphere until it clicks. The light receiving angle for reflected light is 33° (approximately 73 mm) corresponds to approximately 70% of the angle for a 50 mm standard lens of a 35 mm SLR camera (approximately 46°). Make measurements using the fan-shaped lines indicating the 33° light receiving angle on the scale plate as a guide.

How to use

• Step 1: You can select an incident or reflected measurement by sliding the lumisphere to the right or left until it clicks.
• Step 2: You can set ISO in ISO indicator by rotating ISO switch over the knob on the dial ring.
• Step 3: Pressing the measure button causes this meter needle to deflect according to brightness level. When the measuring button is released, the red guide needle stops at a fixed position for 15 seconds indicating the measured values.
• Step 4: Rotate the dial ring to align the green match needle with the red guide needle. Any of the corresponding shutter speed and aperture combinations will provide the correct exposure.
