Product Description
Sekonic DigiCineMate L-308DC
Compact Light Meter for DSLR and Digital Cinematographers and Still Photographers.
 
The L-308DC is the perfect light meter for today's DSLR and digital cinematographers. It features a full range of shutter speeds, including special cine speeds, frame rates and special group of most used shutter angles. The LCD readout can be customized to display only specific functions needed for the task at hand for fast, easy operation.
 
Nothing could be simpler. Set the ISO and take shutter-priority or frame-rate priority readings for aperture display from f/0.5 to f/90.9 with 1/10-stop accuracy. Hold the measuring button for continuous readings. Change shutter speed, frame rate or ISO settings after the measurement and the meter will automatically compensate the aperture setting to maintain proper exposure. Snap on the included Lumidisc to set lighting on green screens, adjust ratios and take lux and foot-candle measurements
 
Shutter-priority readings of flash light can be made with a synch cord or cordlessly at shutter speeds from 1 second to 1/500th second. Measurements include total amount of light, both flash and ambient, for the speed set for the best exposure. The L-308DC automatically resets after each reading in cordless mode to enable fast adjustment of flash brightness
 
The brightness of continuous light sources can be displayed in LUX (lx) or Foot candle (FC). Illuminance measurement is especially useful for cinematography, videography, theatrical and other applications that require precise control of light source brightness.
 
Calibration compensation can be used to tune the L-308DC to film or digital camera sensors or matching the L-308DC to other handheld meters.
 
Three custom settings tune meter operations and displays to fit your camera and metering requirements
 
The L-308DC is powered by a single AA-size alkaline battery that is easily obtainable worldwide.
 
The Sekonic L-308DC DigiCineMate comes with a Lumidisc (with pouch), a soft case, strap, synchro terminal cap and a AA battery.

Sekonic DigiCineMate L-308DC

The versatility of today's cameras is expanding at an amazing rate. Digital SLR cameras are used to record moving images and digital video cameras are used to capture still frames for printing. Whether you are a DSLR videographer, cinematographer, still photographer or involved in any facet of image capture, the Sekonic L-308DC is the perfect meter for you.

Three Ways to Meter


The compact, Sekonic L-308DC is the first meter that can be customized to display only specific functions needed for the task at hand for fast, easy operation.
  • DSLR videographers can make exposure readings and control light using shutter speeds and frame rates and get aperture settings with one-tenth stop accuracy. 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.
  • Cinematographers can make exposure readings and control light using the most useful frame rates and shutter angles and get aperture settings with one-tenth stop accuracy. Exposure display can be customized to match your camera and Lux and Foot Candle readout enables quick set up of lights.
  • 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.
