How to Use Tungsten Film
- 1). Store your tungsten film in a dark location so it is not damaged by light.
- 2). Open the back of your camera and, while still in a dark location, place the tungsten film into the cylinder hub so it clicks in place and pull the leader of the film until it wraps slightly around the hub on the other end of the camera.
- 3). Close the back of the camera, turn the camera on and listen to the film load. If you do not hear a loading noise, you may have to open the camera and pull the leader a bit farther. Once the film is loaded, turn your camera off until you are ready to use it.
- 4). Situate your subject or props in the area where you plan to take photographs in your studio.
- 5). Set up your three tungsten lights on stands so your subject or props are evenly lit. You may have to move around the lights and raise and lower the stands until you reach the perfect lighting. Use light umbrellas if the lights are too bright for your space.
- 6). Turn on your camera and take photos as you normally would. When your film roll is complete, store it in a dark location and follow Steps 2-3 to reload your camera with another roll.
