Minolta Flashmeter VI

Description of Minolta Flashmeter VI 

In addition to other professional functions, the new Minolta Flashmeter VI incorporates a high-performance spot metering function with an acceptance angle of 1°. The Minolta Flashmeter VI not only operates as two different meters with a single unit, but Minolta Flashmeter VI also displays the incident light and reflected light measurement results simultaneously and compares them by using the meter's analog latitude display function. The built-in spot meter uses a compact, high-precision optical system to provide a bright view while maintaining the meter's compact size. Additionally Minolta Flashmeter VI features an easy to use diopter dial to ensure precise viewing and comfortable operation even for eyeglass wearers.

Minolta Flashmeter VI Ensures that the tonal range of the subject will be compatible with the final medium, i.e., film, printing ink, digital, television, etc., has long been a concern to knowledgeable photographers. The Minolta Flashmeter VI enables photographers to enter latitude of film or final medium and determine mid-tone standard (18-piLCD analog display to determine if they will fit the latitude range and how they will be rendered in the final result. The latitude* range of Minolta Flashmeter VI is based on the standard exposure measured by the flash meter (incident light measurement result) is displayed on the dot indicator of the analog scale. Simultaneously, the spot meter's reading (reflected light measurement result) is displayed on a dot indicator of another analog-like scale. The user can visually check how each part of the subject is reproduced on the film by confirming the difference between the measured values for highlight and shadow areas on a subject and the standard exposure. With the Minolta Flashmeter VI, a user can easily determine the exposure suitable for an intended photographic image, because the exposure decision process can be instantaneously confirmed on the meter's LCD panel.* Latitude means the effective exposure range of a film. If the exposure on a subject exceeds the latitude range, the extremely bright area will be saturated with white, and the extremely dark area will be saturated with black on the film.
