Many films 1 Camera

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

The key attribute for digital cameras is the ability to not only control aperture and shutter speed but also film speed. This was brought home to me recently when changing from outside at 200 ASA to inside the Exploris Aquarium in Portaferry, Northern Ireland with 1600 ASA.

No more fiddling with several cameras and different rolls of film. My only gripe for camera manufacturers would be that ASA rating should be as easily changeable as the shutter speed/ aperture. Then I always use the camera on manual so like to change these as I go along so why not also change the film speed quickly as well?
