Types of Film to Capture and Print Your Images Perfectly

There are also many different film speeds available to use depending on the lighting environment. The speed is determined by a number associated with each film; the most popular are 100, 200, 400, and 800. This number can normally be found on the box. The film speed indicates how it will react in a certain situation. An important fact to remember is that the faster the film (i.e. the higher the number), the more sensitive it is to light and the less sharp the photos. Thus, faster film speeds (e.g. 400 or 800) are best suited for low-light situations or action shots. Slower film speeds (e.g. 100, 200) should be used in bright sun or with flash, but the camera must be very steady to take photos in order for them to turn out sharp.

Note that if you do not want to keep switching film for different lighting environments, then a 400-speed film will work under normal conditions because it is considered an all-purpose film.
