2)Up to 3 cameras, 2 light sources and 2 measuring methods can be selected and set for custom calibration. Each camera, light source or measuring method is stored, recalled and displayed within the light meter's internal software, once the data has been transfer to it.

3)Data can be entered into each of the setting parameters (Compensation Value, Dy- namic Range +/- and Clipping Point +/-) individually or by using the "Two Points Input" calculator. The "Two Point Input" calculator automatically computes two settings perim- eters and sets all values from ISO 3 to ISO 8000.
