Key Features

  • For Ambient and Flash Light
  • With Optional Radio Triggering

The Sekonic L-758Cine DIGITALMASTER is the ultimate light-measuring tool for cinematographers, videographers as well as digital still shooters.

Offering the most extensive range of fps (frames-per-second), cine shutter speeds, and shutter angle settings, it meets and excedes the demands of Professional Cinematographers as well as Professional Still Photographers.

It is the first to offer a 1° parallax-free spot viewfinder with a digital display. A built-in retractable incident Lumisphere for standard or cosine corrected light readings, provides both hemispherical and narrow angle readings. The L-758Cine DUALMASTER will handle any lighting situation.

It offers foot-candle, lux, foot-lambert and cd/m2 measuring modes plus cine shutter speeds from 1 to 1000 fps and shutter angle settings from 1° to 270°.

The L-758Cine DIGITALMASTER features a rectangular 1° parallax-free spot viewfinder. In dim or bright light situations, the L-758Cine DIGITALMASTER's spot viewfinder displays shutter speeds, aperture and more. The built-in spot meter measures both reflected ambient, flash or combined lighting. The optical finder also features an eyepiece with an adjustable diopter.

Electronic flash units and/or cameras can be triggered wirelessly with the optional plug-in digital radio Transmitter module (compatible with all PocketWizard Digital Radios). Simultaneous triggering and measuring of flash units up to 100 feet away is possible.

With its new easy-to-use Selective Quad-Triggering control (4 zone lighting control), the L-758Cine DUALMASTER offers quick selection of which flash unit to trigger and measure independently with a touch of a key. Now you can individually measure several flash units wirelessly by the touch of the meter's measuring button, without walking over to each light and turning it on or off.

Up to nine readings can be memorized and displayed on the analog scale independently in incident or spot metering modes in both Aperture and Shutter Priority Modes. Using Memory recall and clear, you may review all memorized readings individually on main display and selectively delete individual readings, or clear all simultaneously.

Both shutter speeds and apertures can be displayed in either full, 1/2 or 1/3-step increments plus 1/10 stop units to match your film or digital camera; selecting these increments is quick and easy with custom software menu settings.
Since no two digital cameras, camera and light meter or different types of films are likely to agree on exactly the same exposure, they need to be matched to one standard. Sekonic has recognized the need for this and created the first programmable light meter.

The L-758Cine can compensate for variation in exposure accuracy caused by different ISO settings, light sources, measuring methods and even file formats. In addition, the dynamic range of a camera sensor can be stored and displayed on the meter's LCD screen.

Features

Exposure Profiling
Up to three digital camera exposure profiles can be stored and recalled. Once selected, the L-758 series can recall an exposure profile (from a digital camera or film) and display the dynamic range and clipping point on the aperture scale or EV scale. Any compensation value that is required to match the camera sensitivity is loaded into the appropriate measuring mode and automatically applied to all measurements.
L-758 can compensate and be calibrated to the sensitivity of your D-SLR, digital back or favorite film. Exposure latitude warning indicator, alert the photographers when the lighting situation is exceeding the dynamic range of the camera or film before the image is captured.

To ensure repeatable accurate and consistent results for tonal range and digital exposure or film control, put the power of control in the palm of your hand, DIGITALMASTER.

Data Transfer Software
The L-758 series light meters have a USB port built-in to connect the light meter to a computer (Windows or MAC) with a USB cable. Exposure Profile Data is exchanged between the computer and the light meter using the Data Transfer Software, which enable the photographer to input the calibration compensation data directly in to the light meters programmable memory chip.

Data Transfer Software and Software Guide (Testing procedure, Image analyzing and Data entry) are preliminaly for still photography use.

Up to nine measured values can be memorized in both incident and reflected modes independently or combined
L-758 series can memorize measured values in both incident and reflected modes independently or combined. When the memorized values are combined it is possible to take a mid-tone measurement using the Lumisphere in incident mode, than take a spot highlight, and shadow measurement by simply switching to reflected measuring mode.

Highlight and shadow tones can be measured and quickly viewed to determine if there are within the Dynamic range or Clipping points of the digital camera or type of film being used. In addition, the Mid.Tone value can be shifting to adjust the highlight or shadow to be within the range required.

1 Degree Spot with Digital Display
The rectangular 1º spot viewfinder displays f-stops, shutter speed, percentage of flash and much more with an EL (Electronic-Luminescent) digital display.

It can instantly be switched from incident to spot measurement mode. With its super sensitive sensor, the L-758 series can measure the reflected flash output down to an amazing f/2.0 and ambient measurements as low as EV1.

Flash Analyzing Function
The ambient light, flash light and total amount of light are each displayed on the analog scale, and the ratio of flash light to the total amount of light is displayed at that time as a value in 10 % steps. Now you can take ambient, flash or mixed lighting exposure measurements without fumbling with meter modes, switches or different displays.

Flash Radio Trigger Function with Wireless Radio Transmitter Module
With the radio transmitter module plugged into the meters radio compartment and a receiver (PocketWizard® products; Plus, Plus ll or MultiMax receivers/transceivers) connected to one or more electronic flash units, the meter provides a convenient system that enables one person working alone to measure flash output without the need of a sync cord. Pressing the measuring button simultaneously triggers the flash and measures the light.

L-758DR has a built-in transmitter module, and L-758D has optional transmitter module.
(Only CE version of L-758D is available)
NOTE:
The Wireless flash triggering system may be used only in countries where a permit for the control frequency has been issued by the government office in charge. There are several kinds of frequencies in the world, and we recommend you check if your transmitter(s) and receiver(s) are compatible each other.

Full, 1/2 or 1/3 Step Selectable Readings
Both shutter speeds and apertures can be displayed in full, 1/2 or 1/3 step increments to accommodate most camera manufacturer's settings.

Auto Backlight
Electro-Luminescent Display lights up automatically in low light. (6EV or less)

https://shashinki.com/shop/images/SKN-L758D-BACKLIGHT.jpg

Step Up Ring (Lens Hood)
The step up ring makes it possible to attach different diameter filters using the appropriate step-up adapters in front of the 1º spot lens (up to 40.5mm filter thread). It also acts as a lens hood preventing erroneous light measurement caused by lens glare and flare.

All-Weather Design

This meter has an All-whether design to endure rugged outdoor condition.
(JIS standard water resistance class 4)

Retractable Lumisphere

You can select extended lumisphere (for 3-D object) or retracted lumisphere (for flat object) at one touch of a rotating the lumisphere retracting ring. Extended Lumisphere
