Petr Berger Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Sometimes I see a little display with changing numbers on professional cameras: http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/5327/g36z.jpg What is it? Light meter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Salmons Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hard to tell from the picture but it looks like a cinetape. What is does is tell the focus puller how far a subject is. Kinda like an invisible, laser tape measure! http://www.cinemaelec.com/products/cinetapemeasure.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted July 2, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted July 2, 2013 That's a cine-tape. It measures distance to what is in front of the lens for the ACs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Parnell Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 What a lot of ACs refer to as a 'Jobsaver'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petr Berger Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 What if the subject is behind some object that is closer to the lens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted July 8, 2013 Premium Member Share Posted July 8, 2013 it will read the object closest to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
