         EXPOSTI{G THE FI1TI
   It is vitqlly importqnt thqt the correct lens aperture
opening be used in order that the film mcy be prop-
erly exposed. The setting of the lens cperture opening
is determined by two fqctors: first, the emulsion speed
of the lilm which is being used in the cqmerc, qnd
secondly, the qmount of light on the subject.
  The emulsion speed rcting on eqch film is merely o
compqrqtive number or factor set up by the exPosure
meter mcsrufqcturers to denote differences between
film emulsions qnd the rcpidity with which eqch film
cccepts the light to which it is exposed. Before you
cqn make q properly exposed picture you must know
the proper rcting of thqt film. If you do not use qn
exposure meter, you must .use qn exposure guide for
thcrt pcrticulqr film rcting. Since color films qnd the

      the l-orm cnd shcpe of your subjects qre mqde more
      interesting by shqdows. The exqct reversql of this is
      true when ybu ore working with color film. When
     working with color film the colors of your subjects
     provide the contrqst, qnd produce the shcpe and
     iorm of the subject. Shadows, especiclly heovy block
     shqdows, should be avoided.
       For best results with color film, the source oI light
     should be clmost directly behind the cqmerq. A flqt,
       front lighting on your subject is the best. Side lighting
      or bqcf lighiing should be qvoided when working with
      color filmi, unless you use a reflector to throw light up
      into the dcrkened qreqs of the subject. Also cvoid

     TYPE A FIITER, FOR COTOR FIIM
        Indoor color film is different from regulcr dcrylight
      color film. It is especiclly prepcred for use with white
      photoflood lights. This liim cqnnot be used in sunlight
      or dcylight unless c Type A filter is used on the lens.
      This specicl filter is required to chcnge the quolity of
      dcrylight to that of regulcr photoflood illuminction;
      thelefbre the color of the lilter is reddish yellow. It is
      not necesscrry to use the hqze filter when using the
     Type A filter. When using the Type A filter with in-
     door color film outdoors, the speed rcting of the film
      is then the sqme crs thct given the regulqr outdoor
      color film. When using the indoor color film with
      photofloods, it is not necessqry to use cny filter.
       Regulcr color film, prepcred especiclly for use in
      dcylight, cqn be used with regular white photoflood
       lights, if the proper blue filter is used in front of the
      lens. The use of the blue filter is not procticcl becquse
      of the effect of the lilter on the speed of the film. The
     speed of the film is cut down to less thqn hqlf when
     the blue filter is used. Reqsonqbly good results ccn
     be obtqined with dcy light color film by using blue
      photoflood lights. With these blue lights no filter is
      required. Blue photoflood lights qre especiclly useful
    when there is c combinqtion of dcylight and ortificicl
        light.
