A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Basic photography filter ?’s (alien.top)

Hello, great to finally check out this community. I’m getting back into photography and looking to move past my iPhone to an actual digital camera. Mostly interested in producing nighttime and daytime nature videos. Couple of basic questions:

I sometimes use the 8mm phone app to get certain looks in my videos. Some of the filter options are labeled as CN-100, E-7240, SP/200 and PV/100F.

I’m trying to figure out what those are based on and if I move to a digital camera if these are looks I can achieve by playing around with the settings.

Do digital cameras have the ability to have similar stock filter options or “apps” that mimic film camera looks

Thanks for any help!

Some of the filter options are labeled as CN-100, E-7240, SP/200 and PV/100F.

They are types of film stock that the filter is supposed to emulate.

All digital cameras have some form of in camera processing (Picture Styles) in order to turn the RAW sensor data into JPGs. However these creative modes are generally quite limited (Portrait, Landscape, Black and White, Standard etc). The Fujifilm range of mirrorless digital cameras do have some film emulation Picture Styles) but for most cameras anything like that would need to be applied separately in post.

Film emulation is a huge topic.

Dehancer seems to be the most full featured tool for the consumer space.
