The Gossen Digipro F Exposure Meter is an accurate and convenient tool to solve these exposure problems.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>In the following video product review, you&#8217;ll see how their new exposure meter works, an un-boxing of the meter, real-life uses in the field, and the advantage of using an incident meter over an in-camera reflective meter for getting successful exposures in challenging light.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0q1s1zCQ6z0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen name=\"I1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p> In my opinion, the Gossen Digipro F Exposure Meter is a superb piece of camera gear to add to your photography tool kit. It allows film speeds from ISO 3.2 to ISO 8000. The micro-processer controlled meter measures shutter speed readings from 1\/8000 second to 60 minutes, and aperture readings from f\/1 to f\/90. It&#8217;s flash sync speeds range from 1 second to 1\/1000 of a second. The Digipro F gives precise, accurate readings. Also, its contrast range function, multiple flash calculations, and programmable exposure corrections are all effective and easy to use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Incident Light Metering<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To properly expose a scene, you need to measure the amount of light that exists in that scene. There are two ways to do this: an incident meter reading or a reflected meter reading. The Digipro F includes both types. The video shows the incident meter feature.<\/p>\n<p>As you&#8217;ve seen, Gossen&#8217;s Digipro F incident meter measures the light falling on the subject, even when back-lit or in scenes with a lot of contrast. It provides a clear display of shutter and aperture settings, even under dark, bright and high contrast conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Reflective in-camera light meters can give misleading readings since they are based on middle gray and they average the exposure to 18% gray. Try photographing someone on a really bright day, or when light is bouncing up from water or sand, and your in-camera meter can give inaccurate exposures. In the video above, we saw how the Gossen Digipro F solved this problem and gave a perfect exposure in a bright, back-lit scene aboard a sailboat.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to add this item to your photography toolkit by placing it on your Holiday wish list.<\/p>\n<p><em>Jimages Rating: ***** 5 out of 5 stars<\/em><br \/><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"apogeephoto-20\";\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"4d5a58e06fd1e76d6583dc43dd0a20c3\";\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B00ATZJ61A,B00GLPK4JU,B01ARGBWTO,B000UKUHOE\";\namzn_assoc_title = \"Recommended Light Meters\";\namzn_assoc_search_bar = \"false\";\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><br \/> Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gossen-photo.us\/digipro-f-exposure-meter-for-flash-ambient\" target=\"_blank\">Gossen&rsquo;s Digipro F Exposure Meter<\/a> webpage.<\/p>\n<p>And visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gossen-photo.us\/\" target=\"_blank\">Gossen<\/a> to see all of their product lines.<\/p>\n<p>by Jim Autin, M.A.  www.
