12 Month Warranty*Featuring a large and intuitive 2.7" colour touchscreen LCD, the Sekonic LiteMaster Pro L-478DR-U-EL Light Metre includes built-in radio flash power control and triggering for the 2.4 GHz Elinchrom EL Skyport wireless system, making incident metreing for ambient and flash lighting straightforward and efficient. It enables precise flash power adjustments in 0.1-step increments, while the 20-channel system offers four selectable groups with stored measured values for accurate ratio control. Users can also adjust modelling lamp power and control all groups simultaneously for streamlined workflow.
Notable for the L-478 light metre series is the large colour touchscreen, which allows for fast control over settings for both ambient and flash metreing. The metre is quite capable as well, able to function within a range of -2 to 22.9 EV at ISO 100. And, for the current crop of hybrid shooters this model expands on its standard stills functions with two distinct video modes: Cine and HD Cine. These settings give access to frame rate selection from 1-1,000 fps as well as shutter angle settings from 1-358° as well as ISO 850 for Canon cinema cameras.
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 analysing function that uses ambient and flashes 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 metre 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.
