LightMate Area 2S + OV-X1 Black 17° Digital Exposure Meter Light Meter & Viewfinder for Zone System

LightMate Area 2S + OV-X1 Black 17° Digital Exposure Meter Light Meter & Viewfinder for Zone System

Installation Requirements:
1. Your camera supports manual and independent control of aperture and shutter speed.
2. The camera comes with a shoe mount interface.

Description:
The LightMate Area 2S is a 17° light meter with a detachable optical metering viewfinder. The 17° metering angle provides a near spot meter experience. With the metering viewfinder, the LightMate Area 2S is able to quickly and precisely aim at the subject for more accurate metering.

Advantages of The LightMate Area 2S:
* Magnetic filter interface is added. It can install filters such as incident light spheres
* Anti-loosening ball for shoe mount has been updated to the 2nd generation
* The metering button has been updated from a two-stage to a simpler and easier-to-use single-stage button
* VfPort has been added for attaching accessories such as a metering viewfinder to improve the accuracy of the metering area
* Shell material: Aluminum alloy
* The warranty of the main unit is one year

Basic Functions:
1. Push dial: Press the dial to switch between shutter priority and aperture priority. Long press the dial to enter ISO settings/system settings
2. Single-trigger metering, automatic-trigger metering and average metering
3. Aperture priority and shutter priority modes
4. Exposure compensation function: step value +/-0.5EV, and the range is -2EV to +2EV)
5. Metering over-range indication: when the lower limit is exceeded, it will indicate ER.u which means Error Underexposure. And when the upper limit is exceeded, it will indicate ER.o which means Error Overexposure
6. Reciprocity law in automatic exposure combination: Quickly get multiple exposure combinations with the same exposure amount)
7. LED light indicates that the metering is complete (you can also get the indication of the metering completion in sunlight)
8. Set and save exposure parameters
9. Real-time display of remaining power
10. Customize the automatic-shutdown time (by default, the screen will turn off without operation in 30 seconds - > 2 minutes later, it will automatically shut down. All of these can be modified in settings)
11. Customize screen brightness adjustment (avoid screen brightness affecting shooting and imaging when long exposure in dark environment)
12. Flip screen display (suitable for 35mm film cameras for Rollei and other cameras with shoe mounts at the bottom)
13. Built-in rechargeable battery: Use a USB-C cable to charge the battery

Advanced Functions:
1. Digital depth of field scale: Quickly get depth of field information, and switch between the lens system (full, medium, large and half-frame) and lens focal length
2. Digital ND filter function: compensates for the ND filter installed on your camera lens
3. Switch between the classic digital dial and the classic dial interface: The dials have different functions and emphases. Under the classic dial, you can get 3 sets of exposure combinations

In continuous trigger metering mode, it can be used for up to 6 hours, which means that it can measure up to 21,600 times, which can meet your needs for on-the-go use. When powered off at full charge, the light meter can be left for more than 6 months.
* It can be mounted directly on a flat-topped rangefinder camera, such as a Barnack camera.
* Front and rear mirror groups of the viewfinder use a multi-layer anti-reflection coating to make the viewfinder clearer and brighter. The purple coating is beautiful.
* The viewfinder presents a black viewfinder frame. The center circle of the frame is the 17° metering area, equivalent to a 135 format of approximately 135mm focal length.
