Sekonic L-308S Flashmate Light Meter

Description

Repeating a camera exposure

For incident light, slide the white dome over the cell and take a reading at the subject’s position with the dome facing the camera. Set the meter ISO to match the camera, then record the shutter and aperture combination with your setup notes.

What to check before buying

Reflected metering reads light coming back from the scene, so a bright wall and a dark doorway can produce different results. Record which mode you used. This listing is for the L-308S model.

For field technique, read the HauntGears daylight investigation guide. See the manufacturer’s specifications and instructions.
