What is Cine Meter II? Cine Meter II is a mobile app that measures light and color, making it an essential tool for cinematographers. It features a zoomable spotmeter, an RGB waveform monitor, and a false-color picture. It can also function as an incident meter using a Luxi or Lumu Lite attachment, and a color meter that shows color temperature and green/magenta tint. Additionally, it can calculate shutter speed, shutter angle, aperture, ND, or ISO directly.
1. Cine Meter II gives you *absolute* light meter readings, but *relative* picture and waveform monitor levels: Cine Meter II’s picture and waveform monitor do not use the *exact* exposure shown by the light meter (they are close to the meter reading, but can differ from it slightly).
2. Shutter speeds, apertures, and ISOs shown in Cine Meter II are for metering purposes only and do not control the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO of the iPhone camera.
3. Cine Meter II lets you use shutter angles – ideal for Digital Bolex and Blackmagic cameras – as well as speeds, and you can dial in ND filters and arbitrary exposure compensations.
4. • The exposure meter shows your stop as a decimal value (for cameras with EVF iris readouts) or as a full stop and fraction (for cine lenses with marked iris rings).
5. Cine Meter II is a light and color meter only; it is *not* a camera simulator.
6. The picture and waveform monitor show you *relative* levels within a scene, not *absolute* levels based on the meter reading.
7. Cine Meter II does NOT work with Lumu Power (the Lightning port Lumu), only Lumu Lite (the headphone jack Lumu).
8. Cine Meter II measures light and color, so you can light and shoot and know what you'll get.
9. It's a color meter, showing color temperature and green/magenta tint, and giving you corrections to or from your target color.
10. Cine Meter II is NOT a flash meter; it can't measure strobes.
11. It's an incident meter using a Luxi™ or other diffusion, or Lumu™ Lite attachment, with lux and foot-candle readouts.
