Photographic Exposure Meter

Photographic exposure meters are devices used in photography to measure the amount of light in a scene. They help photographers determine the correct exposure settings for their cameras, ensuring that the image is properly exposed.

These meters typically consist of a light-sensitive sensor, a display screen, and various controls. They can be handheld or built into cameras. When a photographer points the meter towards the subject, it measures the intensity of light and provides information such as the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO settings that should be used to achieve a balanced exposure.

Exposure meters are essential tools for photographers, especially in situations where the lighting conditions are challenging or when shooting with film cameras that do not have built-in light meters. They help photographers achieve accurate exposures, resulting in well-balanced and properly exposed images.

In the supply class Photographic Equipment And Accessories, photographic exposure meters are categorized as accessories that complement the main photographic equipment, such as cameras and lenses. They are part of the broader supply group of Photographic Equipment, which includes various equipment and accessories used in photography.
