Specifications
Special metering methods – reflected light measurement as 1° spot mete-
ring or 5° selective metering, incident light measurement with spherical or
flat diffuser, measuring probe with optical viewfinder.
Precise measurement and display – repetition accuracy: ± 0.1 EV, exposure
time for standard series adjustable in full or 1/2 increments, digital display
of measured values in 1/10 increments, analog display of measured values
in 1/2 f-stops.
Flexible ambient light measurement – aperture or shutter priority
pre-selection and exposure value display, digital display in 1/10 increments
and analog f-stop display in 1/2 increments.
Contrast range control – measurement of subject and lighting contrast,
display of contrast at the analog scale as f-stops in 1/2 increments.
Mean exposure – a mean value generated from 9 measurements is
displayed digitally in 1/10 f-stop increments, as well as at the analog scale
rounded off to 1/2 f-stop values along with the range of measured values.
Zone system – subject contrast management by means of measurements
in accordance with the zone system, direct display of measured values at
the zone scale.
STARLITE 2
Comprehensive flash measurement – flash exposure measurement (cord/
non-cord) with adjustable synchronization speed, display of ambient light
ratio and multiple flash calculation.
CINE function for filmmakers – determination of f-stop for film speeds
ranging from 2 to 360 fps and open aperture angles from 5° to 355°,
measurement of illuminance or luminance.
Dual ISO sensitivities – conversion of f-stop/shutter speed combinations by
simply pressing a key.
Individualized correction – entry or measurement within a range of ± 9.9
correction values in 1/10 steps.
Unique ergonomics – highly practical one-hand operation, function selection
via the diffuser ring, settings via rotary knob and just a few keys, advanced
functions via DIP switches.
Automatic display illumination – assures good legibility in dark settings.
Diverse warnings – battery level, over-range or under-range.
Effectively Composed, Perfectly Illuminated –
with the Zone System
With the STARLITE 2, final visual results can be viewed for creative planning
before the image is recorded. Use of an 11-stage zone system makes it possible
to evaluate deviating brightness within the subject in consideration of exposure, so
adequate tonal values and detail are present even in the bright and dark areas of
the subject in order to ensure exact reproduction. As a standard feature, acquired
measurement results correspond to the middle gray tone (18% reflection) in the
zone V tone scale. All of the details which are important for an image recording can
then be individually measured on this basis.
Ideal for Flash Measurements
The STARLITE 2 is capable of measuring individual flashes, calculating
multiple flash illumination and analyzing flash and ambient light – even with
several flash units in combination. With the help of multiple flash calculation,
the STARLITE 2 automatically calculates the required number of flashes,
if the flash unit’s power would be inadequate with a single flash.
Top Quality CINE Meter for Filmmakers
Film speed, open aperture angle in 5° steps and photometry settings can
be selected in the CINE operating mode. The large digital display can be
switched back and forth between measured aperture and illuminance or
luminance for ambient light and flash. Contrast and mean value measure-
ment is available as well. The cameraman is thus provided with a clear-cut
display of all of the values required for a correctly exposed photo. The light
technician has an efficient tool for adjusting light effectively.
