Lume is a professional light meter for film photography and cinema. Meter the light with a spot you drag across the scene, lock the reading, then compose the shutter-aperture pair on click-stop wheels, the way a real meter works. PHOTO MODE • Spot reading with a reticle you drag across the scene • Aperture or shutter priority, third-of-a-stop scales • Exposure compensation ±3 EV and ND filters up to ND1000 • 24 film stocks with reciprocity failure correction FLASH • Work out the exposure for a shot with flash: guide number, the power the flash is set to (1/1, 1/2, 1/4…) and the distance • Flash and ambient light are added together, the way they add on film • See how much of the exposure comes from the flash, with a warning past sync speed • On models with LiDAR the subject distance is measured where you aim the reticle CINE MODE • Frame rate and shutter angle • Aperture in tenths of a stop, as used on set LOGBOOK • Save every reading with a photo, the data burned in and the metered area marked • Find your shots in a grid or on a map • Share, or save to your camera roll Metering uses the camera's real metadata together with pixel analysis, continuously calibrated against the sensor. Interface in English and Italian.

What's new in this version. FLASH You can now work out the exposure for a shot with flash. Enter the flash's guide number, the power you set it to (1/1, 1/2, 1/4…) and the distance to the subject: Lume adds the flash to the ambient light and gives you the correct aperture. Power matters — the same flash at 1/8 is three stops weaker than at full. AUTOMATIC DISTANCE On models with LiDAR the subject distance is measured exactly where you aim the reticle, in real metres. No more guessing. FLASH AND AMBIENT BALANCE Shutter speed meters only the ambient light — the flash doesn't feel it. Turn the shutter wheel and watch the share of the exposure coming from the flash change. There's a warning when you go past sync speed. WHEELS The wheels now track your finger precisely: the strip moves exactly as far as your hand does, so it's easier to stop on the value you want. The reticle now shows the calculated value — shutter, or aperture — instead of the EV.
