Installing a Light Meter Application
Luxi™
works in concert with a smartphone application to take readings of
incident light, and then to suggest the optimal camera settings for a given
lighting situation. There are many light meter apps on the App Store and/or
Google Play, though several of them have been written with direct support for
Luxi™
. For the purposes of this guide, we will focus upon the
Luxi™
application
itself, though many of the core principles we’ll discuss will apply to the use of
third-party applications (such as the iOS app
Pocket Light Meter
, to give one
such example).
The
Luxi™
app can be downloaded from
the App Store
or
from Google Play
(you may either follow these links, or else simply search for “Luxi” in the App
Store or on Google Play on your device).
