Mark A. Rapp Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I just picked up a B&H 240 ee. Since I don't have any spare mercury batteries, I'm metering with a Sekonic L-398. Now, I'm not terribly versed in theory, but I do know the basics. Here's my quandary: The camera's shutter speed at 24 fps is 1/65. When I take a reading and index 1/65, it is a different value than the cine scale at 24 fps. Why? Which value should I use to set the aperture? Thanks!

Gregg MacPherson Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 My think the "cine" scale on that meter assumes a 180deg shutter. Just use the shutter speed on the meter that best approximates that of the camera. 1/60 is very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark A. Rapp Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 Thank you, Gregg. Of course! I had no idea that the meter assumes a 180° shutter angle. If that was in the manual for the meter, I missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
