Incident light measurement: Accurately exposed image recordings
The Starlite 2 allows for high precision incident light measurement, which is above interesting for portrait, object and fashion photography. It measures and analyses light which strikes the motif, regardless of the objects reflectivity.
Complete control of lighting contrast leads to well balanced exposure results and allows for targeted use of the available range of dynamics.
And the meter only takes illuminance into consideration, not object brightness. The user is thus able to count on obtaining correct evaluation, as well as good results, with both brighter than average and dark motifs. Optical influences which could lead to erroneous measurement data are eliminated automatically by the Starlite 2. Even objects which greatly deviate from the medium gray tone are reproduced with correct color and tonal values, as long as white balancing is correctly executed for the digital camera.

Diverse options for professional photography
The Starlite 2 places a broad range of options at the fingertips of the user, allowing him to consistently implement his own individual ideas regarding depth of focus and motion. Precise light values make it possible to quickly and simply compare two measurements.Time selection: Measured aperture is displayed
Aperture selection: Measured time is displayed
Light value: Measured exposure value EV is displayed
Targeted Use of the available range of dynamics-optimized workflow
Precise metrological analysis of both illumination and the motif make it possible for the photographer to take ideal advantage of the available range of dynamics of the recording sensor and the outputr media, right from the very start. Adaption by means of frequently tedious post-processing is thus rendered unnecessary.
Contrast measurement: from the brightest to the darkest areas of the motif with detail
Mean value generation: based on measured values from important areas of the image
Zone measurement: different brightness values are assigned to gray values in a defined fashion.

Object Measurement: High precision thanks to additional measuring options
Where object measurement is concerned, the Starlite 2 evaluates light reflected from the object to the camera from the standpoint of the photographer. Motif brightness is analyzed during this process, i.e. light resulting from reflection and absorption. The measurement results are influenced alone by illuminance and object brightness which results therefrom. All types of measurement can thus be performed, right on up to the zone system.
Effectively produced, perfectly illuminated-with the zone system
With the Starlite 2, the final visual results can be subjected to creative planning before the image is recorded: Use an 11-stage zone system makes it possible to evaluate deviating brightness within the motif in consideration of exposure, such that adequate tonal values and detail are present even in the bright and dark areas of the motif to assure exact reproduction. As a standard feature, obtained measurement results correspond to the medium gray tone (18% reflection) in the zone V tone scale. All of the details which are important for an image recording can then be individually measured on this basis.
