Exposure Meters 1
LIGHT IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT Successful photographers compose their images with light! The interplay of light can be a source of either frustration or inspiration for photographers – depending on the photographic situation. Essentially, photography attempts to create moods by interpreting or influencing incident light at the scene and capture them with the help of photographic techniques. Precise, repeatable exposure plays a significant role in this respect and may not be left to chance.
MEASUREMENT METHOD Reflected Light Measurement Where reflected light measurement is concerned, the exposure meter acquires light reflected from the object to the camera from the standpoint of the photographer. This value, based on all of the various reflective objects within the image, is used as a mean tonal value for which required exposure is calculated.
DIGISIX 2 & DIGIFLASH 2 With their compact, handy and lightweight design coming in at just 40 grams, DIGISIX 2 and DIGIFLASH 2 are an ideal enhancement for minimalistic, but nevertheless demanding photographic equipment. They expand the measuring functions of manually adjustable cameras to include incident light measurement, of which better exposure can be achieved for unusual subject contrast. Integrated contrast measurement also indicates whether or not subject contrast, i.e.
DIGIPRO F2 With its compact design, outstanding diversity and high performance, the DIGIPRO F2 is the ideal standard tool for many professional photographers, demanding amateurs and filmmakers. The included technology and features are high quality, and operation is clear-cut and easy to understand. The universal DIGIPRO F2 is laid out for use in the studio, as well as outdoors.
DIGIPRO F2 10 Universal Exposure Meter for Photographers Simple CINE Meter for Filmmakers Ambient light measurement can be performed with either aperture or shutter priority pre-selection, as well as with exposure values. The removable diffuser can be used to switch back and forth between incident and reflected light measurement. After measurement has been completed, f-stop/shutter speed combinations can be queried by pressing the value keys.
DIGISKY The stylish, intuitive, high performance DIGISKY is the contemporary rendition of the exposure meter. Technology and features are at their usual high levels and new standards are being set with regard to design and ease of operation. The compact DIGISKY is laid out for use in the studio as well as outdoors, and is equipped with an adjustable diffuser for flat and spherical measurements.
DIGISKY Ideal CINE Meter for Filmmakers Perfect Ergonomics Film speed, open aperture angle, photometry settings and a correction factor for filters can be specified in the movie mode. The exposure value appears in an easy to interpret analog scale allowing for immediate detection of even minimal deviation from the desired illuminance, and additionally as a digital value. The large digital display can be switched back and forth between measured aperture and illuminance or luminance.
STARLITE 2 The specialized, high performance STARLITE 2 is the top-of-the-line model for semiprofessional and professional users. 1° spot metering allows for detection of the smallest differences in brightness at a distance with the optical viewfinder, as well as for precise exposure. The compact STARLITE 2 is laid out for use in the studio as well as outdoors and is equipped with an adjustable diffuser for flat and spherical measurements.
STARLITE 2 Ideal for Flash Measurements Effectively Composed, Perfectly Illuminated – The STARLITE 2 is capable of measuring individual flashes, calculating multiple flash illumination and analyzing flash and ambient light – even with several flash units in combination. With the help of multiple flash calculation, the STARLITE 2 automatically calculates the required number of flashes, if the flash unit’s power would be inadequate with a single flash.
