I am going to shoot some Kodak Ektachrome 100D and I need a reminder about how to shoot for exteriors- This stock has instructions to set the camera to tungsten(lightbulb) setting for both daylight and tungsten, but when you shoot outdoors, should you still use a daylight filter on the lens? I have gotten results with the color looking too warm, but I don't remember how I shot that footage.

You should shoot exteriors filter-less.
The "Bulb" means you have removed the daylight filter so you can expose Tungsten film under incandescent light, but since this filter has no use with 100D, you should always have it out.
I have an 80A filter I screw onto the lens so I can expose 100D with a movie light when I am titling.
It's a wonderful stock! I wish they hadn't stopped making it.
