Gossen Digiflash Light Meter

Features in Detail

Digiflash: The Smallest Light Meter for Flash and Ambient Light.

Another first from Gossen: the Digiflash is the first flash meter to combine both analog and digital displays in an ultra compact design. The Digiflash is microprocessor controlled and runs on a Lithium battery type CR 2032. The meter weighs approximately 1.5 oz including battery, and comes with a carry case, strap and battery. The Digiflash also offers a functioning clock with alarm, a timer for timing long exposures, plus a precision digital thermometer which measures temperatures and stores a high and low value.

Gossen Digiflash Light Meter Key Features

Measurement of Both Flash and Ambient Light in Incident and Reflected Light Modes
The Digiflash sports a digital read-out and analog scale for flash and ambient light levels that can be measured in reflective or incident mode.
Contrast Metering In 1/3-Stop Increments
With the press of a button, the metering mode can be changed to contrast measurement for total control of the shot.
Storage of Values Measured
The last two values are retained in memory.
Easy to Use
Simply enter the desired sync speed, and trigger the flash. The Digiflash will display the resulting EV value measured in the LCD display. The value is then placed precisely under the red indicator. Read the required f-stop on the scale opposite your selected flash sync speed.
Compact
Just bigger than a matchbox and weighing just four ounces, the Digiflash is portable enough to accompany any photographer on the move. The Digiflash is small enough to sit comfortably on your camera's hot shoe (with optional shoe adapter).
Microprocessor Controlled Operation
The metering system is one of the most advanced ever seen in such a small meter: a sbc photo diode with a measuring range of EV 0 to 18. Adjustments to the ISO ratings are automatically recalibrated into the exposure reading.
Digital LCD Display of Readout in 1/3 Stops
Each measurement is displayed in EV with 1/3 stop increments. In all modes, fine adjustments to 1/3 stop can be made and recorded.
Range Over or Range Under Signal
Timer Function
Up to 30 minutes.
Watch and Alarm Function
Clock with alarm. Adjustable to 12 or 24 hours time.
Temperature Readout
Current temperature plus high and low memory.
