Your SIXTOMAT flash is an exposure meter with digital display from GOSSEN. It measures continuous light and flash, and it covers a wide measuring range with great accuracy.
A wealth of knowledge in the area of light metering, based on many decades of experience in the manufacture of exposure meters, is now being made available to the user, in the simplest manner possible, through microprocessor technology.
As a result of its precise calibration, the SIXTOMAT flash measures with the greatest accuracy, and operation is exceptionally simple and convenient.
Features characterising the SIXTOMAT flash:
–Measures incident and reflected light,
flash (with cord or cordless) and the level of ambient light
–Microprocessor controlled
–Digital LCD display in tenth stops
–Analog contrast display in half stops
–Storage of settings and readings
–Programmable exposure correction
–Recall of all possible shutter speed/aperture combinations of a given reading
–Aperture or shutter priority preselection
–Extremely convenient to measure flash
–Covers the entire CINE scale (frames per second), including the TV standard 25 and 30 f.p.s.
–Warning when range is exceeded
–Automatic battery check
–Auto off

1.2 Display duration
The display is automatically shut off, i.e. there are no readings, if any control button of the SIXTOMAT flash has not been used for 2 minutes; the readings are stored.
–The stored values are recalled by depressing the function or value buttons
–Renewed measurement is instantly possible when the metering button is depressed.
The values of the last meter reading are stored until a new meter reading is taken.
The SIXTOMAT flash is fitted with separate memories for continuous light and flash measurement.
2 How the SIXTOMAT flash functions
2.1 Preparations
Battery
The SIXTOMAT flash operates with a 1,5 V AA-type battery (alkaline-manganese battery). Since the meter’s power consumption is minimal, the battery will last for a long time. When the battery’s capacity becomes exhausted, the BAT symbol appears on the display as a warning that the battery has to be replaced at the earliest possible opportunity.
Measurements cease to be possible if the display only indicates BAT . The battery must be immediately replaced.
To change the battery open the battery comppartment of the SIXTOMAT flash. Remove the exhausted battery and insert the new one. Ensure correct polarity „+“and „–“! Push back the battery compartment cover. Battery changing erases all stored values.
