so that the circle and

digital display can be seen clearly.

(The setting range is -2.5 to 1.0 D.)

WARNING

Be careful not to directly look at the sun or bright light sources during

measurement.

This may cause a serious eye injury or lead to blindness.

NOTE

<<Step-up ring>> (Accessory sold separately)

You can attach a filter to the objective lens side using the step-up ring

(30.5 mm → 40.5 mm). This allows you to determine the exposure without

specifying the filter compensation value of the PL filter, etc., which is a

burdensome task.

The step-up ring can also be used as a hood to protect the lens part from

damage or dirt and prevent an incorrect measurement due to lens flare or

glare. (
