Reference: Available light is continuous light like natural light (sunlight) or tungsten lamps and florescent lamps like pulsing light sources. Flash light is a brief, intense burst of light made by such as electronic flash units or flash bulbs. -12-
3. Incident Measurement Mode Incident light measuring is the measurement method that employs either the Lumisphere or Lumidisc functions. Measurements should be with the Lumisphere aimed towards the camera direction from the subject position.
You can select extended or retracted lumisphere measuring positions by rotating the Lumisphere retracting ring (clockwise or counter-clockwise) until it clicks into position.

Extended Lumisphere

Retracted Lumisphere (Lumidisc)
When the Lumisphere is extended. (3-D Light Measurement) This is used to measure 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 measure manuscripts, paintings or other flat copy. It can also be used for Contrast function (see page 32) or measuring illumination (see page 34).
NOTE: If the light meter 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 with your finger or hand. 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.

E.u (Exposure under) or E.o (Exposure over) appears when the combination of shutter speed and aperture is outside the display range. When E.O (Exposure Over) is displayed,it indicates that the measured exposure is outside the display range, changing the shutter speed to a faster setting with the Jog wheel will allow you to find a combination of proper aperture and shutter speed.
When E.U (Exposure Under) is displayed, it indicates that the measured exposure is outside the display range, changing the shutter speed to a slower shutter speed with the Jog wheel will allow you to find a combination of proper aperture and shutter speed.
If the E.u or E.o readout blinks, this indicates that the light level is beyond the measurement range of the light meter. Adjust lighting in this case.

To avoid a danger of choking, please place Synchro terminal cap in a location where an infant cannot reach and accidentally swallow it.

CAUTION:

There is danger of electric shock if the meter is handled with wet hands, during rain, in areas splashed by water or where there is a lot of moisture. Under such conditions, it is recommended that you use the meter in the cordless flash mode or Wireless flash radio triggering mode, and keep the Synchro terminal cap in place. NOTE: The electronic flash unit may trigger when you connect the Synchro cord or operate the Power button. Triggering voltage is 2.0 to 400 volts. Below 2.0V, trigger flash with the cordless flash mode (see page 22) or wireless flash radio triggering mode (see page 28), not with synchro cord. If you measure flashbulb, be sure to cheek the synchronized range and set the proper shutter speed. Reference: It is possible to switch the shutter speed between full, 1/2 and 1/3 stops by custom setting (See page 40). The shutter speed can be set from 30 minutes to 1/1000 of a second. After 1/1000 sec, the meter can be set at the following intermediate speeds: 1/75, 1/80,1/90, 1/100, 1/200, or 1/400. If the ISO sensitivity is changed after the measurement is taken, the new converted measured value (f stop value) will be displayed. After measurement, the F stop value corresponding to the shutter speed is displayed when the shutter speed is changed with Jog Wheel. Readings outside the display range or beyond the measuring range are similar to the previous instruction (see page 16). You can select aperture scale or EV scale by holding Mode button and pressing AVE. / EV. 2-2 Auto-reset cordless flash mode Measurements are made by the meter receiving the light from the flash. This measurement mode is used when the Synchro cord will not reach because of the distance between the flash and meter or when use of the Synchro cord is inconvenient. 1. Hold down the Mode button and turn the Jog wheel to set Auto-reset Cordless Flash mode.
2. Turn the Jog wheel to set shutter speed. When setting shutter speed, first check the settings to confirm that they correspond to the settings available on the camera (camera flash synchronization). -22-

2. When the light from the flash is received, the measured value (f stop) is displayed. Each time this is repeated, the accumulated value for the aperture and the number of cumulative flashes is displayed.
Percentage of flash in total exposure Measured f stop Number of cumulative flashes 1/10 f stop
Set shutter speed 1st. time 2nd. time
3. The ready to measure mode will be displayed for approximately 90 seconds. If the 90 second period is exceeded and the blinking mark stops, press the Measuring button again. The measured value (f stop) of the previous time reverts to 0 and the meter is in ready to measure mode. NOTE: When firing a flash, if the flash brightness is 8 EV lower than the ambient light, the meter may fail to detect the light. In this case, make measurements using the flash with cord multiple flash (cumulative) mode (see page 24) or wireless multiple flash radio triggering mode (see page 29). Rapid start fluorescent lamps and special lighting are sometimes mistaken for flash, and accidentally measured. In this case, make measurements using the flash with cord multiple flash (cumulative) mode (see page 24) or wireless multiple flash radio triggering mode (see page 29). Waveform of flashbulb is gentle slope and there is a possibility that light meter cannot recognize the flashbulb in Cordless flash mode. In this case, be sure to take measurement in cord multiple flash (cumulative) mode (see page 24) or wireless multiple flash radio triggering mode (see page 29). EV scale cannot display in flash cumulative mode. Reference: Setting the shutter speed is similar to the previous instruction (see page 22). Readings outside the display range or beyond the measuring range are similar to the previous instruction. (See page 16) of Shutter speed priority mode of section 11. If the ISO sensitivity is changed after the measurement is taken, the new converted measured value (f stop value) will be displayed.
2-5 Flash analyzing function When measuring flash light, the shutter speed and F stop value (combining ambient light and flash light: total amount of light) are displayed on the LCD screen and the ambient light and flash light are each displayed as separate values along with the total amount of light (combined flash and ambinent) on the analog scale. In addition, the ratio of flash light to the total amount of light is displayed as a percentage (in 10% steps) at the sametime. The ratio of flash to the total amount of light is useful when a desired flash to ambient lighting ratio is needed. < Example > Under certain conditions, if the flash light output is 60% and the available light output is 40%, the LCD screen will display the flash measured value on the analog scale with a faster blinking icon than the total exposure blinking icon.
1. To emphasize the ambient light (to create a more natural lighting condition) increase the ratio of ambient light,(use the Jog wheel )by changing the shutter speed to a slower setting.The ratio of flash light in the total exposure will be reduced (as shown in the diagram to the right - 20%).The analog scale also shows the ambient output to be about 2.5 stops higher than the flash light output.As a result,images will exhibit a natural lighting quality with flash filled shadows without an over powering presence of flash.

Ambient

Measured f stop (total exposure)
2. To reduce the effect of ambient light decrease the ratio of ambient light, (use the Jog wheel) by changing the shutter speed to a faster setting. The ratio of flash in the total exposure will be increased (as shown in the diagram to the right 80%) The analog scale also shows the flash light output to be about 1.5 stops higher than the ambient light output.
(Display in spot viewfinder)
Reference: Slower shutter speeds allow more available light to reach the film or digital camera sensor, and faster shutter speeds reduce the amount of available reaching the film or sensor. The settings above are made by adjusting the 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. -27-
2-6 Wireless Flash Radio Triggering With the Radio Transmitter module plugged into the meters radio socket and a Receiver or Transceiver (PocketWizard) 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 flash output simultaneously. The L-758DR/758D/758CINE has 32 triggering channels with the RT-32 radio triggering module (built-in for L-758DR, optional for L-758D/758CINE). Channels 1-16 provide single triggering, while channels 17-32 offer Selective Quad-Triggering control. Selecting one of the QuadTriggering channels (17-32) provides control of up to four zones of lighting indicated as a Zone letter (A, B, C and D). Selecting or deselecting a zone is quick and easy with the Quad-Triggering buttons (A,B, C or D). In order to trigger a flash units set for Quad-Triggering, the electronic flash unit must be connected to a PocketWizard MultiMax or a n electronic flash that already has a PocketWizard built-in. The PocketWizard Plus or Plus II can be triggered by the L-758DR using channels 1-4.
< Example with optional 32 channels receiver > For L-758D/758CINE: Open the battery compartment cover , remove connector cover @5 and set the RT-32 Radio Transmitter module (optional) by aligning the connector with the pins.
1. Select the Wireless Flash Radio Triggering setting mode by using the Jog wheel while pressing the Mode button.
2. The set channel number will blink, turn the Jog wheel to select the channel desired. 3. In the Channel setting mode, ch and channel number appear on the upper left side of the LCD. The channel numbers (1 to 16 or 17 to 32) will appear in the F-stop display area. When the channel number is set to 17 - 32, Quad-Triggering zones (A, b, c and d) are displayed in the T (shutter speed) display area. In the absence of a Quad-Triggering setting (A,b,c or d), a - will appears in it's place.

Making a minus compensation will decrease the exposure. Hold the ISO1 button and the ISO 2 button and turn the Jog wheel clockwise. will appear in the upper section of the LCD The screen. The compensation will change in -0.1 EV steps up to -9.9.
NOTE: When making compensations, be sure that it satisfies your needs based on the results of your digital camera sensor or film be used. While incident and reflected light can be set independently, be aware that both ambient light and flash exposure are corrected uniformly. Compensation effects every mode of the meter. If recalibration has been made for specific purpose do not forget to return to original zero settings.
Reference: When compensation is activate, a plus ( ) or minus ( ) sign as well as the amount of compensation is displayed continuously on the LCD. You can set custom settings so that a plus ( ) or minus ( ) sign as well as the amount of compensation doesnt appear on the LCD. (See page 40) You can also set custom setting so that making a plus compensation results in a decreased exposure (increasing the value of the aperture or shutter speed value) and making a minus compensation results in and increased exposure (decreasing the value of the aperture or shutter speed). -36-
7. How to use Calibration compensation function Calibration compensation can be made in precise 1/10 step increments in a +/- 1.0 EV. It provides the ability to match exposure measurements with meters to meters, correct exposure for special requirements, adjusts for film or digital cameras,etc. 1. Set the measurement mode (incident light, reflected light) for the desired compensation. You can make calibration compensation independently for both incident, and reflected light. It is not possible to switch between measurement modes if the setting is not completed.
To enter the calibration setting of the meter it must first be turned off. Press the power button on while holding down the ISO1 and ISO2 buttons simultaneously. You can release the power button, however please keep pressing both ISO1 and ISO2 buttons; the screen will display CAL 0.0 (for calibration).
The calibration setting can be changed by rotating the Jog wheel while pressing and holding down the ISO 1 and ISO 2 buttons simultaneously. A range of +/- 1.0 EV in 1/10 step increments is possible for calibration. When making calibration compensations, be sure that it satisfies your needs based on the results of digital camera sensor or film being used. While incident and reflected light can be set independently, be aware that both ambient light and flash exposure are corrected uniformly. Compensation effects every mode of the meter. If recalibration has been made for specific purpose, do not forget to return to original zero settings.

7. Camera Exposure Profiling
1. Calibration testing for exposure profiling Since no two digital cameras, camera and light meter or different types of film are likely to agree on the same exposure, they need to be calibrated. The L-758DR (L-758D/L-758CINE) can be programmed to match the sensitivity of film or digital camera sensor for prefect exposure control. In addition, since film and digital cameras have their own unique dynamic range, clipping point (exposure tolerance) and varying ISO sensitivity they need to be profiled. To ensure repeatable accurate and consistent measurements and to be aware of the tonal or dynamic range of a particular type of film or digital camera before making a photograph, the L-758DR/L-758D/L-758CINE can be programmed to stored, recall and display up to three different digital cameras or film types. Below are the following settings that can be programmed into the L-758DR/L-758D/L-758CINE.
Compensation value Compensation value (aperture and shutter speed) can be programmed for a specific camera and hand-held meter. Compensation adjustment is within a +/- 5EV range in 1/10 step increments. Clipping point (-) The point at which a given lighting situation (pre-exposure) has surpassed the responds level of a sensor or film and alerts the shooter of a under exposure situation (Pre-Exposure Warning). These point can be custom set from -7EV to 0EV in 1/10 increments. Dynamic range (-) The point at which the sensor or film has reached its maximum reproducible shadow details without pixel noise or grain. Dynamic range (-) adjustment is set from -7EV to 0EV in 1/10 step increments. Dynamic range (+) The point at which the sensor or film has reached its maximum reproducible highlight details without blooming or highlight block up. Dynamic range (+) adjustment is set from 0EV to +7EV in 1/10 step increments. Clipping point (+) The point at which a given lighting situation (pre-exposure) has surpassed the responds level of a sensor or film and alerts the shooter of an over exposure situation (Pre-Exposure Warning). These point can be custom set from 0EV to +7EV in 1/10 increments.

7) Setting compensation value Rotate the Jog wheel while holding down ISO1 button and ISO2 button simultaneously. Compensation values can be made in 1/10 step increments in +/-5.0EV.
8) Setting Clipping point (-) Rotate the Jog wheel while pressing AVE./ EV button. Clipping point can be set from -7 to 0EV in 1/10 step increments.
9) Setting Dynamic range (-) Rotate the Jog wheel while pressing MID.TONE button. Dynamic range can be set from -7 to 0EV in 1/10 step increments.
10) Setting Dynamic range (+) Rotate the Jog wheel while pressing Memory clear button @3. Dynamic range can be set from 0 to +7EV in 1/10 step increments.
-4711) Setting Clipping point (+) Rotate the Jog wheel while pressing ISO2 button. Clipping point can be set from 0 to +7EV in 1/10 step increments.
12) Press the Measuring button if you want to copy this ISO setting to all ISO setting (from ISO 3 to 8000)
Reference: To return to a previous setting, press the ISO1 button and the Memory clear button @3 simultaneously. To return to the default for all Camera setting, press the Mode button and the Memory clear button @3 simultaneously. To return to the default for one of the cameras, please use the application software instead of manual input. <Note> If we update firmware, we don't need to mention this explanation here.
3. How to use Exposure Profiling mode 3-1 Selecting Camera Exposure Profiling Preset Camera Exposure Profiles (Camera 1, 2 and 3) can be recalled. 1) Press and hold down the ISO 1 button ,while pressing the MID.TONE button to select the desired Camera profile (Camera 1, 2 or 3). NOTE: Holding down the MID.TONE button first and pressing ISO1 button makes the last measurement value Mid.Tone as standard value. Be sure to hold the ISO1 button first and press the MID.TONE button to select the desired camera profile.
3-2 Analog scale The analog scale indicates the last measured value, memorized, contrast, and averaged value, clipping point and dynamic range on the LCD. As you can see in the figure on the right, it is composed of four scales.
EV scale Aperture scale Clipping and Dynamic range icons Value display scale
3-2-1 Aperture scale The Aperture scale can be displayed in all mode except Aperture priority mode. Aperture values are displayed as measured values (last measured value, memorized, contrast and averaged value) on this scale. 3-2-2 EV scale It can be displayed in all modes except multiple flash mode.Aperture scale or EV scale can be switched by holding the Mode button and pressing the AVE./ EV button.The EV scale can display a memorized measured value (ex.Incident reading) as a standard value (Mid.Tone), and display it on the EV scale as +/- 7EV from the MID.TONE in 1/3 step increments.
1) After taking a measurement by pressing the Measuring button ,pressing either the Memory button ,MID.TONE button or AVE./ EV button stores the measured value as zero in the middle of the EV scale representing the MID.TONE value. Pressing MID.TONE button will display a blinking on the scale. Pressing AVE./ EV button will display a blinking on the scale. If the MID.TONE button is not pressed,the measured value will be set automatically in the middle of the EV scale.(See the section 3-2-3) Reference: In custom setting (see page 40), it is possible to select which value (last measurement, first memorized value or last memorized value) will become the middle value on the EV scale if the MID.TONE button is not pressed. -48-

10. Care and Maintainance
Although this meter has an All-weather design for everyday use (JIS standard water resistance class 4), do not place it in water or use it underwater. This will cause it to malfunction.
Splashed Do not wash with water
Do not submerge or use under water
To avoid damaging this meter, never drop it or subject it to shock. Avoid storing it in places with high temperatures or humidity. Avoid excessive temperature changes which could cause internal condensation, resulting in malfunction. If the temperature of the meter drops to -10 deg. C or beyond, response of the LCD becomes extremely slow and displays are difficult to read. At temperatures between 0 and 10 deg. C the LCD will become somewhat slower than normal but this does not hinder usage. Also, when the temperature exceeds 50 deg. C, the LCD will turn black and will be hard to read. This will return to normal when the temperature returns to normal. Do not place the meter in direct sunlight during midsummer or near heaters, etc., as the temperature of the meter will rise beyond that of the air temperature. Be careful when using the meter in hot locations.
Maintenance Notes If your meter is splashed with water, wipe immediately with a soft dry cloth. This will cause rust or corrosion. Avoid applying excessive force on the rubber seal of the battery compartment cover or attempting to remove it. This will cause inundation, corrosion or malfunction. If the rubber seals surface is damaged,water or moisture may enter and damage the meter. If this has happened, you must send your meter to the Sekonic Sevice Center in your country. When light meter get dirty, clean it with soft dry cloth. Never use organic cleaners (like thinner or benzene).
