What is ISO 35mm film?

ISO is the film sensitivity. It’s a number, more common ISOs are 100 and 400. The higher the ISO, the higher the film sensitivity and the larger the film-grain size. Every time you load film into your camera make sure you tell the camera what ISO film you are using.

How do I put ISO on a film camera?

First, set the ISO at one half the box speed of your film. So if your film is 400, you set the camera to ISO 200. This makes it so that you are overexposing your film by one stop. Now you set the aperture you want, then find the shutter speed, then transfer the exact numbers to your film camera and shoot away!

Can I use 400 film outside?

ISO 400 film has long been marketed for indoor use. It’s only one stop slower than ISO 800, and two stops faster than ISO 100. If you’re looking for a film that you can reasonably use indoors without a flash, but which will also work outdoors in a pinch, go with ISO 400.

Why does film have ISO?

Film speed is determined by an ISO number (in the UK/US this used to be known as ASA). You will always find a number on your box of film. This ISO indicates how sensitive the film is to light. It lets your camera or light meter know what other settings are needed to get a good exposure.

What is ISO speed in film photography?

ISO film speeds are an important part of film photography as each film speed is used for different scenarios and lighting conditions. The first and most important piece to understand about film speed is that the higher the ISO number, the more grain is visible on the film and the subsequent prints.

What is the difference between ISO 200 and ISO 400?

As the ISO number doubles, so too does the amount of light being recorded by the camera’s sensor. ISO 400 is twice as sensitive as ISO 200 and just as with shutter speed and aperture, when we double the light to the sensor, we refer to this as one ‘stop’ of light.

What does base ISO mean on a camera?

NB. A camera’s ‘base’ ISO is the lowest ISO that you can select. For most Canon cameras it is ISO 100, and for most Nikon cameras it is ISO 100 as well, though some older models were ISO 200 and the newer D810 is ISO 64.
