Three Ways to Meter

The display can be customized match your camera in full, 1/2 or 1/3 step readings. Brightness display in Lux and Foot Candles make it perfect for lighting-design work.

• Traditional still-image photographers will enjoy shutter-priority display of a full range of ambient and flash functions including Cord and Cordless flash measurement as well as EV. All with one-tenth stop accuracy and display that can be customized to your camera.

Three Ways to Measure Light

• The L-308DC's Lumisphere tells you about the light you are controlling. It is designed to integrate all of the illumination that falls on it, and the subject, including the key light, line light, hair light, eye lights, etc. Besides taking nearly foolproof exposure readings, its incident light reading enables you to set up and light a scene before the principal talent arrives. You can also “walk the set” to measure the evenness of the illumination.
• Snap on the accessory Lumidisc to measure for lighting green screens, adjusting ratios and taking lux and foot-candle measurements.
• Slide the Lumisphere to the right to measure light reflected from the subject or the brightness of light sources or window light.
