Reference:
• It is possible to switch between full, 1/2 and 1/3 shutter speeds with custom setting
(see page 32).
• You can set shutter speeds from 30 minutes to 1/8000 seconds. After 1/8000 the shutter
speeds of 1/200 and 1/400 can be set.
• After measurement, the F stop value corresponding to the shutter speed is displayed
when the shutter speed is changed.
• The L-558 displays the measured aperture value in either full or half stop increments on
the analog scale, while L-558 CINE displays it in either full or 1/3 stop increments.
• "E.u" (Exposure under) or "E.o" (Exposure over) appears when the combination of shutter
speed and aperture is outside the display range. Changing the shutter speed or aperture
with the Jog wheel will allow you to find a combination that is possible.
• If the "E.u" or "E.o" readout blinks, this indicates that the light level is beyond the
measurement range of the light meter. Adjust lighting in this case.
