Sekonic L-478D Litemaster Pro

Equipped with a large and intuitive 2.7" color touchscreen LCD, the LiteMaster Pro L-478D light meter from Sekonic makes incident light metering for ambient and flash super easy. The main capability of this system allows full control of flash output in 0.1 increments.

Noteworthy for the L-478 light meter series is the large color touch screen that allows quick control of ambient and flash metering settings. The light meter is also very capable and can operate in a range of -2 to 22.9 EV at ISO 100. In addition, for the current target audience of hybrid shooters, this model expands its standard still image features to include two different video modes: cine and HD cine. These settings provide access to frame rate selections of 1-1,000 fps, as well as shutter angle settings of 1-358° and ISO 850 for Canon Cinema Cameras.

The best possible performance is guaranteed by a range of functions and features that ensure users have the best tools at their disposal. This includes a flash analysis function that simultaneously uses ambient light and flash light to allow shooters to choose their preferred mix. With the included data transfer software, users can also create exposure profiles for their camera using the optional 5° viewfinder, view the dynamic range limits, and know that you will have an accurate exposure. Along with this, there is a filtration compensation mode that allows the meter to account for filter factor, which is now possible for landscape photographers using high-density ND filters at up to 12 EV. Other features include a contrast function for brightness comparison, a memory mode for 8 readings, and measurement of illumination or luminance.
