Cine Meter II: The Ultimate App for Accurate Cinematic Measurements
Cine Meter II delivers precise light metering and color analysis for filmmakers and photographers, making it an indispensable tool for optimizing lighting setups.
Cine Meter II is a versatile tool designed to assist cinematographers in measuring light and color, providing valuable insights for lighting setups and shooting scenarios.
Highly regarded by industry professionals, such as Jon Fauer, ASC, who described it as an essential application for cinematographers, Cine Meter II offers a range of features that cater to the specific needs of filmmakers.
Equipped with a zoomable spotmeter, RGB waveform monitor, and false-color picture display, Cine Meter II serves multiple functions, including incident metering with lux and foot-candle readouts when paired with compatible attachments like Lenny Hat or Lumu Lite.
In addition to its incident metering capabilities, Cine Meter II functions as a color meter, providing information on color temperature, green/magenta tint, and offering corrections to achieve target colors effectively.
- Measurements extend beyond basic shutter-priority or aperture-priority settings, allowing users to calculate shutter speed, shutter angle, aperture, ND filters, or ISO directly within the app.
- The exposure meter displays precise decimal values or traditional stop and fraction formats based on camera compatibility, making it suitable for a wide range of filming equipment.
- The waveform monitor enables users to assess light distribution across a scene, identify areas of smooth lighting or inconsistencies such as hotspots and shadows effortlessly. Its RGB mode helps in detecting color imbalances for enhanced color accuracy.
- Utilize the false-color mode to define contrast ranges and quickly identify underexposed shadows or highlights susceptible to clipping, optimizing overall exposure control.
Important considerations to note before purchase:
Cine Meter II is not intended for flash metering purposes and is incompatible with Lumu Power; only Lumu Lite is supported. While the app provides absolute light meter readings, the waveform monitor and picture display reflect relative levels within the scene.
Cine Meter II serves as a valuable tool for measuring light and color in filmmaking scenarios but does not control the exposure settings of the iPhone camera. For comprehensive details on its functionality and limitations, visit http://www.adamwilt.com/cinemeterii/details.html#How_It_Works.
