Preparation and App Settings
Calibrating the Luxi™ Application
Luxi™
works by diffusing the light entering the front-facing camera of your device in a way which allows
the app to read the amount of light striking your photographic subject or scene. The amount of diffusion
provided is precisely set to just the right degree for these purposes. Since the camera hardware in your
phone or tablet was not designed with
Luxi™
in mind–and because camera sensitivity can differ slightly
from one device to the next–you’ll need to calibrate the
Luxi™
application so that the exact qualities of
your hardware are accounted for.
Once you have performed an initial calibration, the app will remember your settings, and you will not
need to calibrate again. When you are in the field with your camera, you’ll be able simply to place the
Luxi™
clip onto your mobile device, open the app, and start taking incident light readings.
