Hold the meter in the same light that strikes your subject, and point the dome 
back at the camera lens. That’s how you use an incident meter. Don’t use the 
slide unless you know what it does. 

Use 1/50th of a second for most cameras at 24 FPS unless you have to compensate 
for the camera’s prism. 

Compare to the camera’s light reading.  Are they in the ballpark?

If you can, shoot a test in 1/2 stop increments from 2.5 stops under to 2.5 
stops over. That will help you figure out if your meter is accurate and if you 
are using it properly. 

Good luck!
