Spot & Incident Light Readings Under Flash and/or Ambient Lighting Conditions Calibrated to match the Sensitivity of Your Camera's Imaging Sensor
The Sekonic L-758DR DigitalMaster is simply the most dynamic light meter you will ever own. It can record incident or 1-degree spot-readings under ambient and/or strobe lighting down to a tenth-stop in accuracy, and it's sealed against the nastiest of weather. With the included Sekonic RT-32 Radio Transmitter Module and you can wirelessly trigger PocketWizard-enabled flash systems within a 100i?? range. But that's not what makes the Sekonic L-758DR DigitalMaster different from any other meter you have owned. What moves the L-758DR DigitalMaster to the head of the class is that it is the only meter that can be calibrated to read light the way the sensor in your particular camerareads light.
Like film, imaging sensors vary in light sensitivity levels from one batch to the next. Despite manufacturers best efforts, fluctuations of native ISO sensitivities of up to plus/minus half-a-stop can be detected across the uncut wafers as they come off the manufacturing line. Depending on which 'slice of the pie' is inside your camera, the specs listed in the camera manual may not hold true to the characteristics of the sensor in your particular camera.
By running an easy calibration test using Sekonici??s L-758DR, a Sekonic Exposure Profile Target (optional) and the included Data Transfer Software (Mac & Windows), you can accurately profile the sensitivity characteristics of your camerai??s sensor to determine the compensation value for its true native ISO, dynamic range and clipping points.
After calculating the test data and establishing new exposure parameters, this data is uploaded from your computer via the included USB cable back to the meter where it is stored as camera profiles. Profiling data from up to 3 cameras can be stored in your meter for instant recall.
NEW! Sekonic Exposure Profile Target II
Cat. #401-757
A 25 patch test target that gathers more information about the camerai??s exposure characteristics than the previous test target. It consists of two sides: An 18% Gray Card used to custom gray (white) balance digital cameras before profiling; A Profile Target consisting of a central 18% gray patch that is surrounded by 24 patches arranged in 1/6th stop values that are successively brighter and darker.
The Exposure Profile Target II offers faster, more accurate testing as it requires only three shots to gather a wide range of exposure data from the camerai??s imaging system. The first shot is made at the normal, metered exposure determined by a Sekonic L-758DR. The second shot is made at -3EV below the metered exposure and the third shot at +3EV above the metered exposure. Please refer to the illustrations on the next page.
The Exposure Profile Target II is fully compatible with the FREE Data Transfer Software and L-758DR and L-758 Cine to profile your camera and lens combinations. The result is total exposure accuracy. See video >>
Sekonic Exposure Profile Target I
Cat. #401-759
Version 2.0 of the Digital Transfer Software is designed to be used with Exposure Profile Targets that have alignment marks. The alignment marks simplify and automate the selection of Profile Target images with the DTS software.
