Sekonic ProDigi Color C-500R w/ built-in Pocket Wizard Overview
The Sekonic Prodigi Color C-500R is the worlds first color meter designed for both digital and film capture.
The C-500R offers specific digital or film color characteristics in one color meter, allowing today's photographer to gain greater control and color reproduction more accurately than ever before.
The C-500R comes with a built-in wireless triggering module.
The Prodigi Color C-500R can measure and display the color temperature and compensation values (LB/CC index of filter numbers) by simply selecting digital or film sensitive mode. In Digital mode the Prodigi Color matches the color characteristic of digital camera sensors (Visual Color Temperature). In Film mode it matches the color characteristics of traditional film (Photographic Color Temperature). Offering specific digital or film color characteristic in one color meter enables today's photographers to gain greater control and color reproduction accurate than ever before. Yesterday's color meters were great for traditional film capture but can not provide the correct color compensation values necessary for today's digital capture.
The Prodigi Color C-500R incorporates four-color sensors, a Red sensor for digital response (Rd), a Red sensor for film response (Rf), a Green sensor (G) and a Blue sensor (B). By using a simulated spectrum (patent pending), Sekonic has created a selectable Digital or Film mode in the Prodigi Color.
* Four built in sensors that measure color temperature
* Wireless triggering feature compatible with the PocketWizard® (only in C-500R)
* Digital and Film compatible
* Illuminance measurement
* Measured and indicated values
* Preset white balance/color compensation function
* Memory function
* User friendly design
