I am so glad this forum exists. I do not use the forum like I should but believe I will when I get closer to putting my film together. I was using my Samsung S25 phone to set my camera settings on my Bolex Rex5 as well as see a preview of how the shot will look. I have a roll of ISO 100 daylight film and was planning to shoot at 24fps with a RX lens. I set my shutter at 1/60 sec (24 fps w/RX lens) and iso at 65 (2/3 stop down, light loss from prism). When I looked outside on a cloudy day to see my preview shot. I was seeing a washed out image as if it was too bright and could not see the green grass as everything was too light of an image. I could not believe that it was too bright with ISO 100 and that I would need to put a filter over my lens to reduce the light. Does sound right? or am I doing something wrong? It was approx. mid day. Not until the sun was was much further down approx. 8:00pm today did the view look reasonable for shooting. Just want to get some thoughts on this. Thanks guys

What F-stop were you using on the phone for measuring?
I just pointed my meter at the sunny summer day outside, set at 64 ASA, and to get a 1/60th of a second, I was at f10, so I would count on near an F11 with 100 ASA film.
The speed is what hits the exposure here; 1/60 is fairly slow compared to the 'normal' still pic shooting speeds, so, yes, the f-stop will need to be crunched down. I was shooting in the Middle East last spring, and my "F" in summer weather was 22, again because of maintaining the shutter rates for moving images.
For better control, get a set of different Neutral Density filters so you can get your "F' stop up into the creative range (2.8-through 8), as opposed to just slamming it shut to get an exposure at all.

Paging should be using Robert Dreyer (using @ + type his first name and then scrolling down for his name) or quote directly on his previous post like I do here.Originally posted by Claus Harding View Post
