Polaris Digital Exposure Meter
The Polaris Digital Exposure Meter is a compact flash and
ambient light meter that has many features of the more expensive
flash meters. A unique multi-flash feature makes it simple to
calculate how many times the flash must be fired to achieve a
desired f-stop. The Polaris’s large LCD display shows both the
shutter speed and f-stop in 1/10 stop increments.
◆ Compact flash and ambient light meter

Film Types and
Versatile Display Modes
◆ Measurements can be taken for any of the
three major film types:
– Daylight (balanced to 5500K)
– Type-A Tungsten (balanced to 3400K)
– Type-B Tungsten (balanced to 3200K)
◆ Measurement results can be displayed as
LB (light-balancing) and CC (color-com-
pensating) indexes, Kodak Wratten filter
number and CC index, or photographic
color temperature (determined color tem-
perature based on film sensitivity).
– The LB index is used for selecting the
required amber or blue LB filter; it is the
mired difference between the photographic
color temperature specified for the selected
film type and that of the light source.
– The CC index is the nominal value of the
required magenta or green color -compen-
sating filter.
– The Kodak filter number (or numbers) of
the required light-balancing filter(s) are
displayed directly to make selection of the
required amber of blue LB filter easy. If
two Wratten filters are necessary, the Color
Meter III
F displays both numbers.
