Extended Lumisphere 2.

Retracted Lumisphere (Lumidisc)
When the Lumisphere is extended. (3-D Light Measurement) This is used to photograph people, buildings, and other three dimensional objects. Measurements are basically made by the method of measuring with the lumisphere aimed in the camera direction (more precisely, in the direction of the lens axis) at the position of the subject. When the Lumisphere is retracted (flat diffuser function) This is used to photograph manuscripts, paintings or other flat copy. It can also be used for measuring illumination levels (see page 27), or brightness difference (see page 25).
NOTE: If the device is used with the Lumisphere retracting ring in a middle position, distributed light quality will change, and suitable measurements cannot be made. Do not push the Lumisphere down manually. Always use the Lumisphere retracting ring. If the lumisphere becomes soiled, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Organic solutions (paint thinner, benzene, etc.) must not be used under any circumstances.
5. When set for reflected light (spot metering) 1. This method measures the brightness (luminance) of the light reflected from the subject. It is useful for distant objects such as landscapes, when you cannot go to the position of the subject, or for metering subjects that generate light (neon signs, etc.), highly reflective surfaces or translucent subjects (stained glass, etc.).
The spot metering area can be selected by turning the Zoom Lens ring @6 while looking through the viewfinder from the camera position.

To emphasize the tungsten (ambient) light (to imbue the atmosphere with orange-colored tones) To increase the ratio of tungsten light, use the Jog wheel t to change the shutter speed to a slower setting. It is apparent that the flash light component is now 20%. The analog scale also shows the tungsten output component to be about 2.5 stop higher than the flash light component. As a result, images on the film are expressed with orange tones that give life to the effect of the tungsten light.
To reduce the effect of tungsten light (to realize a more natural atmosphere) To decrease the ratio of tungsten light, use the Jog wheel to change the shutter speed to a faster setting. It is apparent that the flash light component is now 80%. The analog scale also shows the flash light component to be about 1.5 stop higher than the ambient light component. As a result, the images on the film are expressed in natural color tones.
Reference: Slower shutter speeds allow more available light to reach the film, and faster shutter speeds allow less available light to reach the film. The settings above are made by adjusting the tungsten (ambient) light by the shutter speed. It is also possible to modify the ratio by adjusting the flash light (when changing the distance between the flash and the subject or when changing the amount of light of the flash). When using this method, re-measure each time the flash light is adjusted. -32-

Reference: Refer to the receiver instruction manual for the receiver operating method. Maximum controllable distance of the radio flash trigger system differs depending on the placement of the device, direction and other factors. 1. Confirm the direct visible range between the transmitter and receiver. 2. Place the meter and receiver away from large metal objects, concrete, objects with large moisture content (both people and trees fall into the category) and so forth. 3. Secure the radio receiver in place by using Velcro tape or mounting 1/4-20 thread. Be sure that the entire length of the receiver antenna is higher than the flash pack at this time. Avoid contact between the receiver antenna and metal objects at all times. 4. Depending on the location, there may be cases when the receiver is incapable of receiving any radio signals whatsoever. There are various possible reasons for this such as radio signals reflected from nearby objects. This can generally be resolved by shifting the device slightly in one direction or another. In addition, confirm that the device is not placed behind objects that readily absorb or deflect radio signals such concrete, metal, low hills, etc.
NOTE: The radio flash system may be used only in countries where a permit for the control frequency has been issued by the government office in charge.
