The crisp 0.91-inch OLED display presents exposure information clearly and intuitively, making it easy to read in both bright daylight and low-light environments.

Choose between multiple display layouts to suit your preferred shooting style, with both Detailed and Standard display modes available.

Unlike traditional light meters, the KM02 is highly customisable to match your individual equipment.

You can configure:

• Full, half or third-stop aperture increments

• Full, half or third-stop shutter speed increments

• Full, half or third-stop ISO increments

• Maximum aperture values

• Minimum aperture values

• Maximum shutter speeds

• Minimum shutter speeds

This prevents unnecessary settings from appearing and allows the meter to perfectly match your camera and lens combination.

Save Multiple Camera Profiles

If you regularly shoot with different film cameras or lenses, the KM02 makes switching between them effortless.

Save customised settings for up to three separate camera and lens combinations, allowing you to change equipment without having to reconfigure the light meter each time.

It's an ideal feature for photographers who alternate between multiple analogue systems.

Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority

The KM02 supports both major exposure workflows.

Choose between:

• Aperture Priority for controlling depth of field

• Shutter Priority for controlling motion

Switching between modes is quick and intuitive, allowing you to adapt instantly to changing shooting conditions.

Single or Continuous Metering

The KM02 offers two metering modes depending on your workflow.

Single Metering

Perfect for carefully composed images where one accurate exposure reading is all that's needed.

Continuous Metering

Continuously updates exposure information in real time as lighting conditions change, making it ideal for street photography, documentary work and fast-moving subjects.

Flexible Mounting System

Included with the KM02 are three interchangeable aluminium shoe mounts, offering compatibility with a huge variety of vintage and modern cameras.

The meter also features five different mounting positions, allowing you to offset it to the left or right depending on your camera's controls and viewfinder placement.

This flexibility ensures a comfortable fit across almost any camera fitted with a hot or cold shoe.
