4.1.3 Reflected light – 1° Spot measuring
For this function, the setting ring at the base of the dome
must be set to the "Reflected light - 1° Symbol. The
symbol appears on the display. In the viewfinder, the
measured area corresponds to the inner, smaller
circle.
Your STARLITE 2 offers reflected light measuring with
1°(spot measuring) via the viewfinder in the measuring
head. When you look through the viewfinder, you can
measure using the measuring buttons
M and AVR from
the camera towards the object. This way, even the
details of a subject can be accurately measured and
analysed through the viewfinder. Now, only the light
reflected from the subject is detected.
When using the reflected light mode, the measuring
values always depend on the reflection of the subject!
As a result of this, bright subjects are reproduced darker
and are therefore not properly exposed.
If the exposure measurement is carried out in
accordance with the reflected light measuring method,
it is advantageous to use a grey chart (18% diffuse
reflection). Furthermore, you can also be given the
average values of up to 9 measuring values. The
different contrast measuring values are displayed on
the analogue aperture scale. Subject contrast is
measured with the reflected light measuring method
and displayed by the STARLITE 2 on the analogue
scale.
4.1.4 Reflected light – 5° Selective measurement
For this function, the "Reflected light measurement 5°"
must be set with the dome ring at the measuring head.
The symbol appears on the display.
In the viewfinder, the measuring area corresponds to
the outer, wider circle.
