Light Meter Gossen Digiflash 2 Black

The Gossen Digiflash 2 Black is a compact digital exposure meter for photographers and videographers, offering both flash and ambient light measurement in a small, portable housing (50 × 23 × 75 mm). It supports incident and reflected metering, provides digital readout in 1/3-stop increments, and stores measured values. Powered by a 9V battery, it also includes analogue-style display of compatible aperture/shutter speed combinations, over/under range indication, and built-in timer, clock and alarm functions.

Advantages

The device combines digital precision with analogue-style visualisation, delivering accurate 1/3-stop readings for both flash and continuous light. Microprocessor control ensures consistent results, while the ability to store measurements and view contrast values makes workflow faster. Small size and automatic battery control increase portability and usability on set.

Suitable for

• Studio photographers measuring flash exposures
• Location photographers and videographers assessing ambient light
• Tasks requiring incident and reflected meter readings
• Situations needing quick reference of aperture/shutter combinations

How to use

Switch on the meter and select flash or ambient mode according to the light source to be measured. Choose incident or reflected metering as required, then take a reading; the result is shown on the LCD in 1/3-stop increments and can be stored. Use the analogue-style display to identify compatible aperture and shutter speed combinations. Use built-in timer, clock or alarm functions as needed during shoots.

Recommendations

For consistent results, check the battery level before critical shoots and allow the meter to stabilise at ambient temperature; when measuring flash, ensure the meter’s sensor faces the flash or the subject depending on whether incident or reflected readings are required.
