Waterproof Digital Incident,
Spot and Flash Lightmeter
Top-of-the-line with unrivaled capabilities and multiple functions, the Starlite lets you
measure light in any form: flash or ambient, reflected or incident, even a tiny spot. It
provides clear, accurate exposure settings, photometric readings or even Zone System
ranges for still photography or cinematography, in a compact and rugged, yet stylish,
water-resistant unit. The Starlite incorporates three individual meters:
• An exposure meter for ambient and flash
• Cine meter for filming
• Light measuring instrument for illumination intensities and luminances
◆ Water resistant housing with rubberized
edges ensure a comfortable and secure hold
◆ Simple operating controls logically
positioned, make the meter easy to use.
◆ In either spot or incident, the Starlite reads
cord, cordless, or multiple flash, ambient or
combination light for fill flash calculation.
◆ The large, easy-to-read LCD display has
an electro-luminescent backlight which
automatically turns on in low light.
◆ Switches from a narrow angle 1° or 5° spot
meter to full function incident meter with
270° swivel head and dual position
retractable lumisphere.
◆ For cord flash measurements, a flash sync
terminal is conveniently placed on the
meter front. In addition, a multiple flash
mode is incorporated for evaluating and
calculating up to 9 flashes.
◆ Shutter speeds exposure times in full
standard or half-step values
◆ Second ISO film speed capacity based on
the result obtained for the ISO 1 setting.
The corresponding values for ISO 2 will be
automatically calculated and displayed
◆ In Cine mode, the Starlite provides
filmmakers with a full range of features
including a preset shutter angle of 180°
adjustable in ten-step increments.
◆ In the Photometric mode, light intensities
and luminance can be measured for both
ambient light and flash with results
displayed in LUX, footcandle, cd/m2,
footlambert and more.
Multifunctional Swivel Head
A remarkable advantage is the rotary measuring swivel head, a multiple function optical center.
The rotary ring at the base of the diffuser can be set at four different modes.
Six Measuring Methods Available
◆ Reflected light measurement of a 1° angle
through the viewfinder
◆ Quick selection at the ring enables the
meter to alternate to a 5° angle
◆ Incident light measurement: with raised
diffuser= spherical characteristics
◆ Incident light measurement: with lowered
diffuser= flat plane characteristics
