The Minolta Color Meter IIIF is a top-of-the-line professional color compensation meter for ambient and flash with correction value memory. This makes it easier for photographers to maintain consistent color under various types of illumination.
The meter measures the color of the light illuminating the subject and determines the filtration required to correct that illumination for the film in use. When measuring both ambient light and flash, selecting the Color Meter IIIF's analyze function will subtract the ambient light and display only the measured results for flash light.
Top-of-the-line, reliable, professional color meter
Measures ambient light and flash
Provides filtration readings for two types of filters: LB (Light Balancing) and CC (Color Correction)
Analyze function determines measurement values for only flash light in mixed flash/ambient situations
Measurements Can Be Taken for Any of the Three Major Film Types
Daylight (balanced to 5500k)
Type-A Tungsten (balanced to 3400k)
Type-B Tungsten (balanced to 3200k)
Measurement Results Can Be Displayed Several Ways
As light balancing and color compensating indexes
As Kodak Wratten filter number and CC index
As photographic color temperature (determined color temperature based on film sensitivity)
Kodak Wratten Filter Readings
Display of Kodak Wratten filter numbers makes selecting filters quick and convenient
If two Wratten filters are necessary, the Color Meter IIIF displays both numbers. Color Meter IIIF users can store their own personal correction values for the recommended filtration
Correction values for LB and CC indexes can be stored in any of the meter's nine memory channels to custom tune meter readings for the desired color reproduction
The correction values are added to the initial measured values to calculate the final displayed results
