Datacolor has brought its color expertise to an innovative device that goes beyond the traditional light meter. The Datacolor Light Color Meter is a Bluetooth-enabled, multifunctional tool that s like an on-set PA that fits in your pocket, continuously streaming both light and color data to your smartphone via the free Datacolor Light Color Meter app in real time. You can easily fine-tune your lighting and exposure without leaving your camera, plus sync multiple Datacolor Light Color Meters to get light and color temperature measurements from several locations simultaneously in real time for greater workflow efficiencies and precision assurance. The Datacolor Light Color Meter is one of the easiest ways to ensure accurate exposure for reliable results and a streamlined post-production workflow. It lets us master the science of color and light while you master the art of visual representation. Metering takes the guesswork out of exposure settings, helping photographers, videographers, cinematographers and hybrid photo/video shooters to better control lighting ratios and color consistency across varied lighting conditions and multiple camera setups. Measurements are sent to your smartphone immediately via the Datacolor Light Color Meter app, providing continuous updates for accuracy even under varying light conditions like shifting daylight. Along with its time-saving benefits and wireless agility, the comprehensive light and color information provided by the Datacolor Light Color Meter allows users to enjoy enhanced creative control. The Bluetooth-enabled meter accurately measures all types of lighting, from fluctuating outdoor light, mixed natural/artificial location lighting, plus any type of studio lighting, including continuous lighting and strobe/flash. You can sync multiple Datacolor Light Color Meters together to get readings from different areas of your shoot all at one time via the app, and have this information continuously updated an invaluable feature to have in shifting/varied light situations that saves you time and effort while providing real-time accuracy. Along with color temperature, the Datacolor Light Color Meter also measures Duv the green-magenta component of your light that helps you determine whether a correction is needed for fluorescent, LEDs, or sunlight. Using a meter allows you to get a read on the light s true color temperature rather than rely on your camera s Auto White Balance, so you can set your white balance correctly from the start of your shoot. In a mixed lighting situation, you can use the meter s strobe and ambient color measuring to match your strobes to the ambient light and avoid mixed color casts. In situations with challenging light sources such as LEDs or fluorescent lighting, you can measure your sources separately to know how to white balance or filter using color correction gels. Filter libraries from Profoto, LEE and Rosco are included to help you choose the right color gels. The Datacolor Light Color Meter allows you to set up to 15 alarm notifications on any connected device indicating changes in light levels, color temperature shifts or mismatches that can occur for example, when you re outdoors and clouds form or shift, or in studio when your flash fails to go off.
