Yes it can, you just plug the sync lead into the meter to fire the flashes and take a reading. Alternatively, if you are using a radio trigger, press the button to take a reading and then trigger the flash. I must say that I've not been using mine much when shooting digital.

I still find the flashmeter useful for working out the output ratios for each head when using studio flash with a DSLR.

Good point but, on digital, I just do it by eye which does have its drawbacks occasionally since the camera screen isn't quite WYSIWYG. Film is another matter of course.

Can the Minolta Flashmeter IV be used with my Elinchrom D-Lite 4 digital flash heads?
