Godox C100 Transparent Viewfinder Camera and Exposure Meter

Godox C100 digital camera and light meter

This is a really fun and unique novelty! The Godox C100 is a credit card-sized, sci-fi-inspired digital camera and a film camera exposure meter in one package. Its magic is a completely transparent viewfinder, through which you look directly at the real world and the device projects shooting information and crop lines onto the glass surface.

Because the device does not have a traditional screen for viewing images, it brings back a touch of analog surprise to digital photography.

• A fun digital camera and light meter in one device
• Futuristic, semi-transparent display and a body about the size of a credit card
• Focal length approximately 24mm equivalent, records photos and short videos
• Four different crop frame settings: 16:9, 3:2, 4:3 and 1:1
• Images cannot be viewed directly from the camera, saved on a MicroSD card sold separately

Taking pictures and the transparent viewfinder

The heart of the camera is its display. Semi-transparent display technology has been seen before, but Godox has now implemented it in an exceptionally versatile way by combining information elements on the display. You can see the real landscape directly through the viewfinder, on which your chosen cropping frame is projected. You can change the cropping to 16:9, 3:2, 4:3 or 1:1 aspect ratios depending on the mood.

The focal length of the camera is approximately 24mm wide-angle. The C100 is designed for casual, in-the-moment shooting: photos and short video clips are saved to a memory card, but cannot be viewed on the camera screen. Images are later transferred to a phone or computer via the built-in USB-C port.

A handy exposure meter for film photographers

In addition to taking your own digital photos, the C100 is a great tool to use with your analog camera. It measures the brightness of the light in the center of the image area (about 25% of the area). You can enter the film sensitivity (ISO) of your film camera and the desired aperture into the device, and Godox will calculate and show you the correct exposure time.

The device's user interface covers a very wide range of values, so it can easily be extended to all the needs of normal film shooting.

The exposure metering accuracy is perfect for black and white film and color negatives. However, if you are shooting slide film at a professional level that requires very precise exposure, we still recommend a more robust, traditional separate exposure meter. However, for street photography and more casual mood photography, this is an unbeatable and stylish tool.
