Sunlight, daylight, incandescent, fluorescent, and 

other  artificial  light  sources  all  have  color  charac-

teristics that vary significantly. Filters give you better 

images by adjusting for these light variations.

Film and video are rated for a particular color 

temperature  such  as  that  of  daylight  or  tungsten 

light. Filters are used to correct differences in color 

temperature  between  the  recording  medium  and 

the light source.

Get  the  right  colors  with  daylight  film  when  shooting 

indoors, with tungsten lighting, and without a flash.

sten lighting, studio lighting and copy stand lighting.
