As a Director of Photography, I recently shot a short film with my Nikon D3S. Due to lighting conditions I shot much of the film at ISO 12,800. I was surprised my L-758DR could not be set to that ISO. May I suggest the next firmware version support high ISO values such as 12,800 and higher? Also since many of us are now using our DSLR cameras for video it would be nice if the firmware update also included shutter speeds such as 1/48th and other popular video shutter speeds. Being an old hand at this sort of thing it was easy for me to interpolate the correct camera settings. But for the 20-something Assistant Cameraman he just could not seem to understand what to do. Thank you. Terry Thomas... the photographer Atlanta, Georgia USA Close

There is a way around this limitation. You can create a 12800 value by setting the meter ISO to 8000 and then pressing the ISO 1 and ISO 2 buttons together to see ADJ on the screen and enter a 0.7 adjustment. The meter will then display a proper aperture number for good exposure for an camera set to ISO 12500. Alternatively, Sekonic's L-308DC and L-478 series meters can handle 1/48 plus many other special speeds for HD cameras. These meters also allow creating any frame rate or shutter angle you want and also enable creating unique filter factors. Hope that helps!

DTS Software 3.06 for use with X-rite Color Checker Passport for calibration the L-758 meter to my camera/lens combo. This is not working for me. I load in the 3 images that I took and record the exact F-stop, shutter speed, and ISO used and I get an error message: I am getting the error "The set level does not exist in the image. Change the level to one that exists in the image in order to calculate." There also seems to be a bug in the Mac version of the software. Here is a description of the problem: I cannot use the X-Rite Passport Exposure Profile Target in the DTS software, but must choose the X-Rite Classic target instead. When I do choose the Passport profile target and get to the step where you are to position the green markers, they jump around the screen as seen in the screen-shot below. Number 1, can be repositioned but number 2 cannot and numbers 3 and 4 are missing altogether. If I choose the Classic target, I am able to position the markers and go to the next step. This Passport bug only happens on the first image chosen, the remaining 3 allow for the repositioning of all 4 markers. Close

I have sent your message along to our support team, who should be contacting you by email shortly and be able to get you up and running with your Color Checker Passport.
