Sekonic L-358 Flash Master Exposure Meter User Manual

This manual is for Sekonic Flash Master L-358 Exposure Meter. This meter provides a wide range of functions that correspond with most manufacturers camera settings in all formats, which will satisfy professionals as well as serious enthusiasts. Its sealed housing and controls make it water and moisture resistant. Yes, you can use it in the rain, but it is not an underwater meter. Its large LCD display makes readings easy and lights up automatically in dark surroundings. In order not to crowd the controls, four functions which are less frequently used, are confined to DIP switches, located in the battery compartment. Because of its many features, the L-358 requires this rather extensive manual. But since you will never use them all at the same time, once you have learned all about it, it is simple and its use will become second nature. The Flash Master L-358 has undergone extensive quality controls at every step of manufacture. Please read this instruction manual thoroughly, to be able to take advantage of its many features and to obtain the long service life it is designed for. Thank you for your confidence in Sekonic.
