[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Dear friends, 1. recently acquired the sekonic508 as recommended highly for its spot meter function. however i'm still having a tough time getting reasonable readings from the 1-4degree spot reading. For iso100 on sunny day, the incident reading will say f16. On the sunlit subject, a vivid jewel-toned fabric of various colours (no neon or white) the spot reading will say f2 or between f2-f2.8 at most. Is it possible that the reading difference is such when using incident versus spot? since i have never used the 508 or any other spot meter before, i am at a lost despite the manual's instructions.Can anyone shed some guidelines or light on this matter? Appreciate it. 2. i dont see this in the manual, but someone suggested using the 508's reflective function for normal coverage like the M6's internal meter's coverage. How do I set this on the 508? please email to my address rkmiller001@earthlink.net thanks in advance, bee lian
