Gossen Digipro F - Manual (Page 2)

GOSSEN Foto- und Lichtmesstechnik GmbH 2
Your Digipro F is an exposure meter with digital display from GOSSEN. It measures ambient light and flash and it
covers a wide measuring range with great accuracy.
A wealth of knowledge in the area of light metering, based on many decades of experience in the manufacture of
exposure meters, is now being made available to the user, in the simplest manner possible, due to microprocessor
technology.
As a result of its precise calibration, the Digipro F measures with high accuracy and operation is exceptionally simple
and convenient.
Features characterising the Digipro F:
• Swivel head
• Measurement modes: incident and reflected light
• Measuring flash (with cord or noncord) with indication of the level of ambient light
• Microprocessor controlled
• Digital LCD display in tenths of stops
• Analog contrast display in half stops
• Storage of settings and readings
• Programmable exposure correction combinations of a given reading
• Recall of all possible shutter speed/aperture combinations of a given reading
• Aperture or shutter priority preselection
• Extremely convenient to measure flash
• Covers the entire CINE scale (frames per second), including the TV standard 25 and 30 f.p.s.
• Warning when range is exceeded
• Automatic battery check
• Auto off
• Suitable for analog and digital photgraphy
