SEKONIC Litemaster Pro L-478D Exposure Meter. Litemaster Pro Light meteter is equipped with a large and intuitive 2.7" color touchscreen LCD which makes incident metering for ambient and flash light super simple. The major ability of this system enables complete control of the flash's power in 0.1-step increments. The large color touchscreen allows for fast control over settings for both ambient and flash metering. The meter is very capable and able to function within a range of -2 to 22.9 EV at ISO 100. Additionally, for the current crop of hybrid shooters this model expands on its standard stills functions with two distinct video modes: Cine and HD Cine.
Performance guaranteed
Guaranteeing the best possible performance is a suite of functions and features that will ensure users have the best tools available to them. Among these is a flash analyzing function that uses ambient and flash simultaneously to allow for shooters to dial in their preferred mix. Also, using the included Data Transfer Software users will be able to do Exposure Profiling for their camera by using the optional 5° viewfinder, showing dynamic range limits and knowing that you will have an accurate exposure. Alongside this is a Filtration Compensation Mode that allows for the meter to account for filter factor, which can now be done at up to 12 EV for landscape shooters using high-density ND filters. Other features include a contrast function for comparing brightness, a memory mode for 8 readings, and illuminance or luminance measurement.
