The parallax Peilsucher displays a 17 degrees wide and 12 degrees high rectangular image, in the center of a small circle indicates the measurement field of one degree. Below is an additional display that shows the measured value as aperture or EV value in tenth step - just like the large display. The symbols for the difference in brightness measurement or verification of compliance with the pre-selected exposure latitude are there to detect. The exposure latitude display mode of KFM-2200 also represents the results of light and spot measurements represent The display in the parameters aperture, shutter speed and ISO to a rectangle, which value is to be measured. A triangle informed about the entry of the other two values ​​on the dial side. The reading of the results will also work in the dark, thanks to steadily for five seconds or switchable illumination.

Other features in addition to the old and the mean function belongs, for example, the difference in brightness function, which indicates the deviation of individual measurements of the predetermined standard lighting. A built-in flash analysis, the amounts of flash and ambient light to the overall exposure by a single flash metering. The KFM-2200 replaces a lux meter When changing the dome against a optional accessory diffuser. The display can be switched to Lux, the conversion to Lux is internally programmed.

It shows mixed lighting conditions and required multiple flashes and performs measurements of contrast. Its functionality has been expanded to display the exposure values ​​in 1/2- or 1/3-stop increments. It costs 300 euros.

Derr DIGISKY can be powered via the website of the pits with firmware version 2.0. He recognizes all Elinchrome RX strobes with integrated or externally connected EL-Skyport radio receiver and controls individually. The functionality corresponds to the description of "direct device mode" by Elinchrom. It can be set up to three studio sets and stored, controlled up to six studio flashes (RX and BX) and up to eight jobs over the radio channel are separated 1.8. There is a multi-function control for "all flash units" and "Lightning Group 1-4". Who is limited to the measurement with radio control can be used in conjunction with Elinchrom Skyport Universal Radio triggers and flash devices from any manufacturer. DIGISKY features a switchable diffuser for plane and spherical light measurement and controls the light and reflected light for flash and ambient light. With the cine function, the aperture for movie transition rate of 2 to 100 fps and full-aperture angle of 45 to 315 degrees can be determined. DIGISKY measures the illuminance or luminance. It costs 380 euros.
