- Flash Analyzing Function:
- The L-478-series meters are especially useful when using flash to lighten shadows or reduce background detail
- That's because they measure ambient and flash simultaneously and automatically indicate the percentage of flash in the total exposure
- Touch the screen to adjust settings to get the perfect the ambient flash mix
- The meter's analog display uses color-coded lines to graphically display the relationship between ambient and flash components
- Calibrated to your Camera with Exposure Profiling:
- Every camera system is unique. Optical, mechanical and imaging components all act on each other to produce slight differences in the dynamic range and exposure
- Knowing the limits of your camera enables making better exposures with less post-processing
- Sekonic's pioneering Data Transfer Software enables quick dynamic range mapping and meter calibration for the most precise control of light
- Create and store up to ten profiles with Sekonic or X-Rite brand targets or use the touch display to directly enter profile information obtained from other sources
- Data Transfer Software (CD-ROM included):
- Data Transfer Software enables:
- 1) Dynamic range profiling and meter calibration.
- 2) Customizing meter functions.
- 3) Creating custom frame rate, shutter angle and filter compensation settings.
- 4) Upgrading the L-478-series firmware
- Enhanced HD Cine / Cine Features:
- Today's digital cameras are boundless and a variety of cameras can be used in a single production
- The L-478 series has two motion capture modes to fit camera in use
- Touch to set shutter speeds for DSLR cameras in HD CINE mode or quickly select frame rates and shutter angles for cameras in CINE mode
- Create unique frame rates and shutter angles for special effects
- Infinite Frame Rate/Shutter Angle:
- Special effects and light sources can push standard camera settings to their limits
- Allows creating unique frame rates and shutter angles to .000 to enable precise exposure and lighting, producing the very best images and reduce time in postproduction
- Unique Filtration Compensation Mode:
- Like all light and exposure meters, the L-478 series are calibrated for visual light
- Because meters can't measure filtered light by design, Sekonic designers added a unique Filter mode that enables getting exact light levels with touch screen ease
- Touch the L-478 series to instantly call up lightsource or camera filtration expressed industry standard CTO/CTB/ND terms
- For special filters or applications, create a unique filter factor and give it a name. Up to four filters can be used together as a pack to assure full control in virtually any situation
- Illuminance or Luminance Measurement:
- Brightness measurement in Lux or FC and cd/m2 or FL will make the L-478 series a major player on movie sets around the world
- Display brightness along with exposure measurements or simply by itself
- Contrast Function:
- The L-478 series' contrast function simplifies setting up lighting ratios or checking the evenness of a background or scene
- Take a reading of the key or reference light and touch AVE/EV to create a standard
- Then press the measuring button to display the brightness difference between the standard and new reading
- Memory Mode and Latitude Display:
- Up to nine readings can be memorized. An indicator appears on the analog display each time a measurement is memorized
- This provides a fast and simple way of retaining and analyzing shadow, mid tone and highlight exposure readings
- Digital readings can be recalled and/or cleared at any time for precise exposure control
- The dynamic range of your digital camera or film can be programmed into the L-478 to create a Latitude Display that mirrors the range of your system
- Set a Mid.Tone from Tool Box to display the Latitude Scale. This important guide will let you know readings are within the range of your camera
