Features :

• Widest Sensitivity Range Ever: Measures f/stop from f/0.35 to f/128, photographic illuminance from near total darkness -0.1 foot-candles to full 70,000 fc and 1 to 100,000 lx.
   

• Contrast Ratio Measurement (Ratio Mode): The ratio of two readings from 1:1 to 999:1 can be instantly calculated and displayed thereby simplifying the set  up of any lighting situation, and in f/stop mode the difference in f/stop between a new reading and the last memorized measurement is displayed in precise 1/10-stop increments.
   

• Averaging: Average of two reading and or continuous averaging in f/stop and foot-candle made possible.
   

• True Digital Design: Multiple range liner circuit design controlled by a embedded microcomputer (other photographic meter are designed with the older logarithmic method - a single range circuit).
