Default Re: Tutorial for Sekonic L-758DR: How to create a custom profile

I made a video on youtube showing what to do. Set up the CCPP in even light ( no more than 1/10 of a stop difference in the light edge to edge of the CCPP) Make your files and load them in to the DTS. Ver 3. That simple . Here is the video, good luck! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clsHvMqBZAU&feature=plcp

Take 3 different shots, 0.0, -3, +3 exposure, loaded into the new software (it must be the latest version, that contains the color checker passport). It will have the option for colorchecker passport.

The first time I made a mistake, second time was a charmed.

I found a youtube or vimeo (I don't remember) showing how to do it.

Just try it, if you make mistake you can send back the default setting from factory and rewrite the profile.
Thanks, I will try it once I received my light meter anytime soon..I just saw the Video of akfreak and yes it has the option for the color checker passport and no need to buy this 100$ target....

Each camera and lens combo is different. You need to create your own profile. Good luck, AKf
