Selecting the right film for the conditions you are filming in
is vital. A film that is right for one type of picture and conditions
may not suit the next picture.
6. Slow film. Up to ISO 100. Use for brightly lit, still life subjects.
Allows pictures enlargement, whilst still retaining fine details.
7. Medium film. Around ISO 200. Medium film is the most versatile
film. Great for use outdoors in everyday situations.
8. Fast film. ISO 400. For use when the light is not so bright.
Good for action shots.
9. Very fast film. ISO 1000. For use in low light, both in and
outdoors. Provides a grainy image.
10. Film or slide. Film is the more convenient medium, but slide
provides higher quality, especially if enlargement is required.
11. Films have shelf lives. The newer your film the better. Old
film can give your pictures an unwanted colouring. Certainly make
sure you use your film before the use by date.
12. Keep your film in the supplied container. This stops light
and dirt from getting in.
13. Process the film quickly once it has been used.
14. Keep the film from extremes of temperature, especially heat.
This will adversely affect the quality of the film.
15. Different makes of film can provide slightly different results.
Try a few different brands and see which one suits you the best.
