So now that I got the light meter to work, and perhaps I should start a new thread, but I have a few questions as it relates to my Flashpoint XPLOR 600. I can effectively communicate with the monolight using the wireless transmitter.
- Why does the light meter and my camera measure in terms of 1/125 or 1/60 when the Flashpoint and wireless transmitter operate in 1/128th or 1/64th?
- I set the Flashpoint to manual, 1/128 and the light meter and camera to 1/125, making it significantly under exposed. When I take a picture with the flash to determine the proper exposure with the light meter, it records 1.0, which is not possible/desirable.
What am I doing wrong? :-(
I just realized what I was doing wrong with the flash. The 1/128 and 1/64 is a ratio(?) of power as compared to full power.
I've learned an awful lot in the last 24 hours - I can't believe I've come this far, and also looking forward to learning more.
