Can i set the aperture and the iso on this meter? It's important for shutting portraits.

No, the meter lets you set the ISO and the shutter speed and it displays the aperture. Once you get a reading, you can get the other equivalent aperture/shutter settings by using the buttons on the side. If you're using flash and trying for a specific aperture, you'll have to vary the ISO value.

Yes, you are able to take full control of this. I manually set these all the time.

To make a reading, you must set shutter speed and iso values, but once you make the reading, you can cycle through various equivalent apertures/shutter speed/iso settings. For portrait work with flash, I set the meter at my chosen sync speed, make a test reading while firing the flash, then see what aperture I would need to work at with that shutter speed. With those values in hand, it is easy to vary the aperture and flash power/distance as needed.

Yes, you can set the ISO and the aperture. You can also meter for ambient light, electronic flash or a combination of both.

Yes. But you don't necessarily have full control of aperture settings. But it works.

If it's the model that sets aperture electronically from the camera, then it should meter. If there is no electronic link for the aperture setting, then it won't. You may want to visit a big-box store and try the lens on a store sample. If the lens has an aperture ring, set it to the narrowest aperture (highest f number) if there is no specific marking for automatic setting.

The answer depends on what you are using it for. If you are using it for ambient light photography, then you take the meter and hold it next to the subject such that the white globe is facing in the general direction of the camera. Having set the correct ISO to match your camera settings, you press the trigger on the meter to get a reading. You'll get a shutter speed and aperture. You can use the up and down buttons on the meter to scroll through various other combinations that result in the same total exposure value. If you are using this to meter flash/strobe, then you need to connect it to a PC cable so the strobe is fired when you press the trigger. Hold the meter as you did before, and press the trigger. In this case, the shutter speed is not important. All that matters is the aperture (assuming you have your camera set at or below its max sync shutter speed). In either case, transfer those readings to the camera and you are good to go.

I use this on mine and it works on full manual mode. Light meter doesn't work as there's no metering so it does take some experience and guessing. Also just a tip, images are sharper if you set it to f5.6.

yes it does give you some settings of aperture for different situations. Not as in-depth as it could be.

Hope this helps... I have not used it, but the manual explains that if you switch to: Expert mode, you may use this to take photos and videos with manual adjustment of ISO sensitivity, exposure value, aperture, and the shutter speed. &#65532;One of the selections allows you to specifically use it to manually adjust the device settings, such as the aperture and shutter speed - set aperture, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity.

Focus and metering can be set for "spot". That was one of the settings I had to change when I was trying to take photos of the moon.

You need to put the camera in full manual mode. Since this adapter has no AF function it will not register with the camera. Once you're in manual you should be fine. Aperture is fixed to what the telescope is so you adjust your exposure using different shutter speeds. Then to get the shutter to release you need to turn on the "release w/o lense" setting. After that you should be good to go.

No, you will have to manually set the aperture on the lens via the aperture ring.

With your lens set to manual, your camera will function in aperture priority. The image is previewed in the aperture of your choice, and the shutter speed is automatically set by the camera. ISO selections can be made manually as if you were using a native lens. Very slick piece of gear!

No, you can't set the aperture, but see my review; you can set the ISO speed, or chose "kids & pets" program if you want a wide aperture and fast shutter. You can also bracket the exposure +/- 2 "increments" but I haven't played with that yet to see if it alters the aperture or shutter speed, or both!

Depending on the mode you select, nightime, landscape, etc, the shutter speed adjusts. I do not know if it can be manually changed.

The camera has a manual program where you can set the values of aperture, ISO, and exposure so yes, I'd say you can. The larger the aperture, the greater blurr-out-effect you get on the objects out of focus. And yes, you can even choose the focus manually.

Are you using a light meter and setting your camera to the values the meter provides? If not, that would be an awesome place to start....

Yes you can. The manual for DTS notes though that the resulting profile will be less precise. And the reason for that is that the CC Passport doesn't have 18% gray tile. So the application will adjust the results. I wonder what will happen if you'll use the Sekonic gray card for exposure metering. I did it both ways but can't tell so far how precise it is. Only difference I can see is that if I use CC Passport target for exposure metering the exposures on the resulting response curve align better. Have to experiment more.

The aperture must be set manually, as well as the focus.The focus by the way, will be an extremely delicate affair because of being so close to the subject. I set my f-stop with the lens on the camera normally; then reversed it. you can leave the ring attached if you think you'll be using it a lot.
