level so that higher shutter speeds can be

used. Even when following the instructions
of the film data sheet, it is advisable to

slightly adjust the exposure over several
shots to get at least one perfectly exposed

image.
Be especially on the alert for reciprocity

failure when using color reversal (slide) film

which has a smaller exposure latitude than

black and white or color negative film.
Having a smaller exposure latitude means

that it is more touchy about exposure error.

Incorrect exposure by only 1/2 exposure
step may make a noticeable difference in the

image results. Reciprocity failure with color

film will result in color shifts as well as

underexposure and may require corrective

filtration as recommended by the film manu­

facturer.
