   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_meter

   Use of a light meter for portrait cinematography in a Turkish music video set. A light meter (or illuminometer) is a device used to measure the amount of light.In photography, an exposure meter is a light meter coupled to either a digital or analog calculator which displays the correct shutter speed and f-number for optimum exposure, given a certain lighting situation and film speed.

3. Selenium meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selenium_meter

   A selenium meter is a light-measuring instrument based on the photoelectric properties of selenium. The most common use of such light meters is measuring the exposure value for photography. The electric part of such a meter is an electromagnetic measuring instrument which is connected to the anode and cathode of a selenium photo cell that ...

4. List of measuring instruments - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_measuring_instruments

   Light meter, an instrument used to set photographic exposures. It can be either a lux meter (incident-light meter) or a luminance meter (reflected-light meter), and is calibrated in photographic units. Integrating sphere for collecting the total luminous flux of a light source, which can then be measured by a photometer

5. Film speed - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_speed

   The ISO arithmetic speed has a useful property for photographers without the equipment for taking a metered light reading. Correct exposure will usually be achieved for a frontlighted scene in bright sun if the aperture of the lens is set to f/16 and the shutter speed is the reciprocal of the ISO film speed (e.g. 1/100 second for 100 ISO film).

6. Through-the-lens metering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Through-the-lens_metering

   In many advanced modern cameras multiple 'segments' are used to acquire the amount of light in different places of the picture. Depending on the mode the photographer has selected, this information is then used to correctly set the exposure. With a simple spot meter, a single spot on the picture is selected.

7. Foot-candle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot-candle

   In the US lighting industry, foot-candles are a common unit of measurement used by architects to calculate adequate lighting levels. Foot-candles are also commonly used in the museum and gallery fields in the US, where lighting levels must be carefully controlled to conserve light-sensitive objects such as prints, photographs, and paintings, the colors of which fade when exposed to bright ...
