Sekonic L-478DR: LOVE IT: Harware Menu

vdotmatrix

I am about to sell my L-358 becasue I just got the L-478dr. MAN what a nice tool to use with flash.

preliminary findings are this thing is great.

I made an exposure profile for my camera and loaded that in to the meter.

Documentation SUCKS! I have a lousy Sekonic PDF for an owners manual and about 7 relevant videos on this light meter but you have to watch each one and god help you if you are nt taking notes cuz you'll never find the clip again.....

My first question: How do I get in to the hardware menu. manual says hold menu button and press power button.....HA

Any ideas?

thanks

They are saying something is wrong with my brand new meter.

When in radio flash mode, i can sometimes get the exposure to appear under each power level for the zones, but not always....any ideas before I start a new thread?

The "They" turned out to be all wrong about accessing the hardware menu..

To access the Hardware menu the unit must be turned off, which is not mentioned in the PDF users manual: press menu button and hold THEN press power button.
