Does light meter show flash percent?

Yes, it does show percentage of flash in total exposure. This indication is on a dedicated portion of the display and does not require manipulation of anything on the meter to read it.

I think they have LEDs so you see at a quick glance if they are working. Mine has a very short flash every 10 seconds or so.

No - its a separate add on component that only works with flash sync for metering

The light meter only works when the shutter speed is on 'A' automaticwhen its on automatic you just put your finger over the button in the middle of the shutter speed

It does, yes it's noticeable. It only flashes when it's in discover mode I believe.

Each LED light means 25%. So that means that you are charged 75% and the flashing is charging from 75 to 100% When fully charged all lights will be constant and nothing will be flashing.

A flash produces very bright white light for an extremely short period of time usually measured in thousandths of a second. If you are comparing this with a continuous lighting source which is measured in watts it becomes rather difficult and somewhat irrelevant. The guide number of 58 (YN568EX II) tells you how far away you can be to get effective exposure from the flash if the flash is the primary source of light. If said flash was on continuously it would be a very bright light in terms of continuous wattage output when compared with studio lighting. A more relevant comparison would be lumen-seconds which is an accurate measure of light as is the guide number rating for a flash.

Although I have not used my unit, I recall that it did flash when in flash mode.

It has a PC port while you can use to trigger a flash. However this meter has a mode that will let you flash your strobes within 30secs and it will take a meter reading for you. You simply activate the meter, hit the trigger for your strobes/monolights/flash whatever. Then it gives you the meter reading your looking for..

The flash does pop up on the top left, but it never got in my way. Although I haven't used the flash a ton.

Yes. You go to Menu>Camera settings>2>Flash mode. Select "fill flash" from the menu and the flash will go off, regardless of the light levels. Naturally, the flash needs to be opened/up for this to work.

sort of. There is a manual setting that is used to determine how bright the light is, and one of the settings is the strobe. So, set the manual setting to strobe, and when you turn on the flash light, it strobes. Be careful though, the strobe is very disorienting if you look directly into it. My wife thought it was just a flashlight, tried to use it one night and almost blinded herself...

I find that this meter works great and is accurate for my indoor and outdoor shoots. It measures only the flash and not ambient. It does have its quirks, if I need to meter lower power then f4, the meter seems to be not sensitive enough to get a proper reading. So I have to swing it a bit. With higher flash power as in f8 or f11 mine is very accurate. Hey its what we get for being cheap! We could saved a hundred more bucks and got a very decent meter, but this one does work for me. Try maby metering for the ambient with your camera and then meter the flash. Dont know if this helps but mabe it will be usefull to you.

This meter only measure lux which can be converted to footcandles. It does not measure total lumens.

I am not sure what the standard/norm is regarding how far the meter should be from the light source, but I would think you put the meter right up to the lens of the flashlight. Light output decreases exponentially with distance (proved in the experiment for which I bought the meter,) but I think that anywhere from touching the lens to maybe an inch out will give you a proper reading. I would put both the flashlight and the meter sensor on fixed surfaces, then look at the reading on the LCD display. Oh, and this is important: do it in a VERY dark room. The ambient light will make a difference.

Not sure that it does. I've only used it in light. Will check it out when back at work.

Not positive as I bought it for my father, but memory says only a flashing light.
