Yeah, it was probably a silly question to start with but thought I'd ask. I've never shot on film before and was curious. I'm in LA so cloud cover is not gonna happen. May try to find a shady spot during the day.

Yes, I'm aware of the exposure difference, just curious what it would do if shooting with the Daylight Setting. There is a little switch on the camera for shooting Tungsten or Daylight. I will probably just shoot with the correct setting and tweek it a little in post to get it to a bluer tint, unless someone recommends otherwise. Thx.

Hi,

I have a Minolta XL-Sound 84 Super 8 camera with Kodak 500T and am needing to give the footage a blue tint for a short sequence outdoors at sunset. If I turn on the Daylight Setting Button, will that give me the nice blue tint I am looking for....or should I just adjust Color Temp. in post?

Thx.

No replies...probably because it's a dumb question but I couldn't go back and delete the post.

This page helped me, even though I'm just using an app. https://www.hurlbutvisuals.com/blog/2014/01/reading-a-light-meter/

Thanks.

Hello again,

I have never metered for film before. In this case, would I set the ISO to 500 and the shutter to 1/39 on the meter, then push 1 to 2 stops from there?

That helps. Thank you.

Hi,

I recently acquired a Minolta XL 84 Super 8 camera. I have some Vision 3 Kodak 500t already so I wanted to use it with this camera. The instructions for the Minolta says it takes Daylight ASA 25 or 100/Tungsten ASA 40 or 160. If I shot on Auto, in low light with the 500t (let's say on the street at night or in a dark theatre) do you think it will be okay? If not, any recommendations for Manual mode?

Thanks.
