Kenko KFM-1100 Professional Light Meter with Diffuser

Kenko KFM-1100 Light & Flash Meter 
The clearly marking of the buttons of Kenko KFM-1100 makes this light meter to be used easily. The side of the Kenko meter has only 3 buttons, the largest is for taking measurements, the other two set on a rocker are UP/DOWN input buttons for changing F no., shutter speed or ASA/ISO. This simple Kenko meter is very easy-to-use and the ergonomic design feels comfortable in your hand. The logical control layout of Kenko meter will please photographers who want to concentrate on the subject, not their equipment. Thanks to kenko.

The Kenko KFM-1100’s large and easy to read LCD displays measurements in F number format with large numbers in 1/10 stop increments and in more common 1/2 stop increments in a pointer scale across the top of the LCD display. To make the LCD Readable in Low light conditions its equipped with a back-light.

The Kenko meter is too sensitive for ambient (existing) light to be measured for a shutter speed range from 30 minutes to 1/8000 of a second. In Cine mode the Kenko meter is able to read frame-rates of 8 to 128 frames per second.

For measuring flash, the Kenko meter has sync-cord & non-sync cord modes that is: It either trigger the flash using a sync-cord or set to non-sync cord for manual flash triggering. The aperture range that can be read and display is from f/1.0 to f/128.

The Kenko KFM-1100 is useful in mixed flash/ambient lighting situations, the “Analyze” function of the Kenko meter can determine the ratio of ambient to flash light in a scene. This feature is very handy and useful in situations where a flash is being used to “open up” a shadowed area left by ambient (natural) light.

The Kenko meter’s “Calculation” function design can be used to average measurements that have been already stored in its memory, very useful in reflected light measurements to capture highlight or shadow detail more precisely.
The kenko KFM-1100 has two memory “slots” to store previous measurements that can be recalled easily for reference or for averaging. Just press the “M” button after each reading to store it in memory of the meter. If the memory has two readings stored, it will delete the oldest reading to store the new information.
