Product Information

Full details

The TTArtisan Light Meter II is designed for photographers and videographers who prefer precise manual exposure control and an analog workflow. Its key benefit is providing accurate ambient and flash exposure readings directly, bypassing in-camera meters for a more tactile experience. A potential caveat is its reliance on manual input, which may be slower for rapid-fire shooting scenarios. This compact, cold-shoe mounted device features a durable aircraft aluminum body and offers a range of ISO, shutter speed, and aperture settings with clear, half-step increments.

FAQs

What type of battery does the TTArtisan Light Meter II use?

The TTArtisan Light Meter II uses one CR1632 coin cell battery, which is included with the device.

While designed primarily for ambient light, its manual controls allow for estimation of flash output when combined with experience and testing.

Is the meter suitable for videography?

How do I clean the light meter?

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body and lens. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Meter not turning on

Ensure the CR1632 battery is correctly inserted and has sufficient charge. Check that the battery compartment is clean.

Inconsistent readings

Make sure the meter is not being pointed directly at a very bright light source or in complete darkness. Ensure the lens is clean and free of smudges. Verify the metering angle is appropriate for the scene.

Indicator light not responding

Ensure no debris has accumulated around the dials. Operate the dials gently. If stiffness persists, contact customer support.
