Top 10 Photo Skills #8: Change the film


But I thought this was a digital age?

Most digital cameras still allow you to change the film settings of your camera to simulate the differences with the old 35mm film cameras that now fill the closet.

So what do these do...

ISO 100 - It is the best in bright sun delivering bright, clear pictures with a striking combination of vibrant, accurate color, and vividly sharp detail. Great for close-ups and still-life shots.

ISO 200 - When you need an all-around performer, thi is it. It turns up the color in variable light with good all-around sharpness. Great for slow to moderate action, this film works in a variety of indoor and outdoor situations.

ISO 400 - When you want a film that does it all with rich color and great sharpness. Ideal for extended flash range, as well as outdoor shots. It has outstanding flexibility in a variety of lighting situations that makes it perfect for sports and action.

ISO 800 - Great for pictures in most light and action conditions. Truly, it’s the speed that adjusts to the widest range of picture-taking conditions.

So play around and notice the differences.
