KONICA MINOLTA
FLASH METER VI
Exposure Calculation (S/A/H) Functions
◆ The Flash Meter VI is equipped with three exposure calculations: Shadow, Average, or
Highlight. Average can be used for both incident and reflected light measurements while the
Highlight and Shadow functions can be used for reflected light measurements only.
— The averaging function automatically calculates and displays the average of up to 10 stored
measurements. To display the average of two readings stored in memory, simply press the
S/A/H button.
— In highlight mode, the value for the brightest measured point is increased by 2.3 stops
(default value) to produce an exposure reading that will render the measured area as a high-
light in the photo. To display the highlight-biased exposure, press the S/A/H button and
press the Up/Down control until "H" is displayed on the data panel.
— In shadow mode, the value for the darkest measured point is increased by 2.7 stops (default
value) to produce an exposure reading that will render the measured area as a shadow in the
photo. To display the shadow-biased exposure, press the S/A/H button and press the
Up/Down control until S is displayed on the data panel.
Optional Accessories
Sync Cord III (MISC3):
The Sync Cord III is a 5-meter long cord that connects to the
meter, flash unit, and camera’s
sync terminal simultaneously,
making possible
meter-flash and camera-flash synchronization
without changing direction.......................................................29.95
Flat Diffuser
(MIFD):
The flat diffuser is used to measure the lighting ratio between
main and auxiliary light sources to determine illuminance
values, and to take exposure readings for flat surfaces such as
paintings.....................................................................................17.95

Multifunctional Meter
Analyze Function:
The percentage of flash light in the total
exposure is automatically displayed on the
meter’s quadrant-style analyze scale. For
example when one quadrant appears, the
flash contribution is approximately 25%; two
50%; three 75%; four flash is the main
illumination source. Change the lighting
effect by controlling the shutter speed and
observing the number of quadrants displayed.
Memory Function:
Up to 10 incident or spot measurements can
easily be stored in memory by pressing the M
(Memory) button. Incident values stored in
memory are displayed on Incident analog
scale (left scale); Spot values are displayed on
the Spot scale (right scale). The memory
data and latest measurement data are retained
even when the power button is turned off.
Brightness Difference Function:
This function helps the photographer balance
lighting or check for uneven lighting when
taking product shots, portrait, etc. Simply
measure a reference tone, and then press the
LATITUDE button to observe the brightness
difference symbol (*), which appears on the
LCD readout. Then go measure other areas
of the scene. The meter will display the
brightness difference on the digital readout in
terms of EV in 0.1 EV increments. Incident
measurements appear on the main LCD while
Spot readings appear in the viewfinder.
Custom Settings
◆ Display mode can be customized according
to your preference whenever necessary.
— Exposure correction of ± 10.0 EV
— Selectable shutter speed setting in 1-stop,
1/2-stop, or 1/3-stop increments.
— Selectable F No. Display mode in
conventional full stop with 1/10-stop
increments or the f-number
—
Direct-reading, which provides intermediate
f-number settings (e.g. f/3.5, 3.6, 3.7, etc.).
— Time or Cine mode readings
—
Exposure bias adjustment up to ±10.0 stops
