Selecting settings is quick and easy with the built-in Jog wheel and cine shutter speeds up to 360 frames per second makes the L-358 a versatile tool in the most demanding lighting scenario. Optional spot finders extend the versatility of the meter with a choice of 1, 5 or 10 degree measuring angles with a viewable parallax-free viewfinder.

FEATURES:

Analyzing Function
A simultaneous reading of flash and ambient light is analyzed. The readings are displayed in three different ways on the LCD:

1. Combined readings of flash and ambient
2. Percentage of flash in the total exposure
3. Simultaneous display of flash, ambient and combined readings on the analog display

Retractable Lumisphere
A built-in adjustable incident dome (Lumisphere) provides full measuring in the standard position or when retracted, provides cosine corrected light readings for individual light source measurements or flat artwork.

Memory Mode
9 memory banks are available in both Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority Modes, making contrast evaluation and averaging possible in both modes.

Illuminated Direct Display
Both shutter speeds and apertures can be displayed in full, 1/2 or 1/3 step increments to accommodate most camera manufacturer’s settings.

Exposure, Calibration and Filter Compensation
Exposure compensation of +/-9.9 EV
Calibration compensation of +/-1.0 EV

Dual ISO Settings
Allows the photographer to take single light readings and display the exposure settings in two different ISO film speeds such as negative film and Polaroid proofing film. The second ISO setting is also ideal for calculating exposure compensation such as filter factors or bellows factors, without having to change the original film speed settings.

Cine Speeds
Complete range of full and half-frame speeds from 2 to 360 f.p.s (frames per second)

Full-Featured Flash Measurements
1. Cord Flash Mode
2. Cordless Flash Mode
3. Multiple Exposure, Cumulative Flash Mode
4. Radio Triggering Mode

All Weather Design
All buttons, switches and compartments are sealed and the meter housing has been constructed with durable, rugged conditions in mind. Ideal for shooting in sandy, rainy or humid conditions.

Optional Plug-in Radio Transmitter Module
Electronic flash units and/or cameras can be triggered wirelessly from either the L-608, L-608CINE or L-358 meter’s optional plug-in, multi-channel digital radio transmitter. No more tripping over synch cords, or fumbling with PC connectors. Compatible with all PocketWizard Digital Radio Receivers, these meters can simultaneously trigger and measure your electronic flash units up to 100 feet away. You can also select through the meter’s software, “Quad Triggering mode” which provides you with up to four zones of lighting control remotely. Now you can individually measure several flash units wirelessly with the touch of the meter’s measuring button, without walking over to each light and turning them on or off. You can even trigger motor driven cameras from the meter. Part of the Digital Wireless Freedom system, the L-608, L-608CINE and L-358 are wireless exposure meters and exposure makers.

Optional Spot View Finders Parallax-free 1°, 5° or 10° (angle of acceptance) precise spot metering viewfinders attach quickly and easily to the meter's receptor head.

Full compatibility with PocketWizard
PocketWizard is an established manufacturer of the most reliable digital wireless triggering systems in the industry. They offer two different radio-triggering systems, the PocketWizard Plus (an affordable and reliable 4 channel Transmitter and Receiver system) and the PocketWizard MultiMAX Transceiver (an advanced 32 channel Transceiver radio triggering system with Trigger Time Control software). Both systems are completely compatible with the optional Sekonic digital radio module. Previous PocketWizard radios are also fully compatible (Classic 10 and 16 channel, and PocketWizard MAX). All PocketWizard units offer the greatest operating range, reliable triggering and sophisticated advanced features.
