I was just having a moment to myself and was not to sure which camera setting would be better to use for shooting outdoor, the bulb for indoor or the sun for outdoor. The film stock is Kodak 64T

Thanks

Hi Tom,

64T is tungsten balanced film, so you go to "bulb" to remove the daylight filter and expose the film with artificial light indoors, and then go to "sun" to insert the daylight filter and expose with sunlight outdoors.

Thanks Steve, I know its different when you use the 100D you set it to the indoor setting. I guess it must be the way the cartridges are notched.

What that is 100D is daylight color balanced film: formulated to be compatible with the color spectrum of sunlight. The internal filter in the camera is meant to allow tungsten balanced film to film in sunlight. This filter doesn't apply at all to daylight film so you go into "indoor" filming mode to take it out of the optical path and leave it that way.

-but, when you go to use daylight balanced film in tungsten lighting you need an entirely different filter to compensate for that. I have one of these that threads onto the lens.

I'm not a great indoor filmer ("filmist"), so this filter is basically just for titling.

When you do this enough you really start to appreciate the human eye: all sorts of lighting conditions and environments and mechanical disturbances and it just works!

On a really good day what you see on a screen comes close to the way you saw it before you put the camera in front your face!
