NOTE

●

When battery power is low and the meter is turned ON, the LCD screen will appear and then turn off immediately. This is an indication that the batteries are depleted and should be replaced immediately. Having spare batteries on hand is recommended.

2-6 Replacing Batteries

●

Always turn off the power before replacing batteries. If you replace batteries while the power is turned on, the measured values that are obtained during operations are not saved. Also, this may cause a failure.

●

If an unexpected display appears on the LCD during battery replacement or measurement, ie. settings other than selected, or if the meter does not respond when a button is pressed, remove the batteries, wait at least 10 seconds, and then re-install them.

5-1 Measurement Method

5-1-1 Balancing Color Temperatures of Light Sources

When multiple light sources are being used, the color temperature of each light source must be measured separately. If light sources with different color temperatures are used together in the same image, inconsistent color will be present in the shadows and highlights. Take a measurement by facing the Light Receptor ❶towards the light source to correctly measure the color temperature of the light source.

NOTICE

●

To get accurate color from a light source, make sure not to get bounced or

reected light from a colored surface, or another light.

●

Damage and dirt on the Light Receptor ❶ can affect the precision of the measurment. If the Light Receptor ❶ becomes dirty, wipe it with a dry, soft cloth. Never use organic solvents such as thinner or benzene.

●

Be courteous to those around you that may be sensitive to ash, or bright light,

please give them notice before taking a measurement.
