4. When set for Incident light
• Measurement of incident light uses Lumisphere or recessed Lumisphere. You can switch
between Lumisphere and recessed function by firmly rotating the Lumisphere UP/DOWN ring 1
until it clicks.
•When the Lumisphere is raised
This is used to photograph people, buildings, and other three dimensional objects.
•When the Lumisphere is lowered (flat diffuser function)
This is used to photograph manuscripts, paintings or other flat copy. It can also be used for
measuring illumination contrast (see page 20) or illumination levels (see page 22), or brightness
difference (see page 20).
NOTE:
•If the device is used with the UP/DOWN ring in a middle position, distributed light quality
will change, and suitable measurements cannot be made.
•
Do not push the Lumisphere down manually.
