hi, f*f/t=E*18%*S/K/PI
'f' is Av, 't' is exposure time in second, E is lux, K is a constant, equals 15.4 in documents of Kodak. So, if E=500lux, S=ASA100, then f*f/t=500*0.18*100/15.4/3.14159=186, equals 1/6s,F5.6 or 1/90,F1.4 . �� 2002-06-04 23:06:00 ����� >Hi. > >Does anyone know if there is some reasonably simple formula to take a >regular meter reading (i.e. F4 @ 1/60) and convert it into lux?
