Description
Additional Features:
- The Lumisphere provides incident light readings for nearly foolproof exposure readings and enables lighting that scene before talent arrives.
- The Lens is perfect for lighting green screens, adjusting ratios and taking lux and foot-candle measurements. Reflected light readings enable measuring the brightness of subject tones, gray cards, light sources or window light.
- Lumidisc (optional) Slide the built-in lumisphere to the right and insert the lumidisc (optional) into the provided slot over the light receiver. The L-308X is now ready to measure flat subjects or lighting contrast with precision.
Now includes ISO 850 the native ISO of some of today’s most popular video cameras.
Illuminated display – Backlight LCD turns on automatically under EV5.
Calibration compensation – Adjust the L-308X to your Film or Digital camera’s exposure or matching the L-308X to other hand-held meters. (+/-1.0EV in 0.1 step)
Custom setting – Three custom settings are available to select display mode, increment of measurement and unit of illuminance (lx or fc) to fit to your camera and metering requirements.
Illuminance Measurement – Lux(lx) and foot-candle(fc) display is especially used for cinematogaraphy, theatrical and other applications that require precise control of light source brightness. Either no display, lux or foot-candle is selectable in custom setting.
