What are Film Speeds and ASA Ratings? Fi lm speeds
or ASk ( American Standards Association) ratings are
a means of classifying film according to their light
sensitivity. The higher the numerical rating, the
more sensitive the film is to light. A film with an
ASA of 200 is more sensitive to light than a fi lm
rated ASA SO . You need less light to take a picture
with a film rated at 200 than you would with a film
rated at SO. '
Wh er e t <> find t he ASA rating of the film you ' re usi ng
Inside every . box of film you buy is a sheet giving
information about the fi lm. On this sheet you'll find
ASA rating .

appears in opening marked ASA (F) ,
If you are using a film whose A SA number
does not appear on the dial, say Kod ak Plus·X
with an ASA of SO - then set the dot b etween
50 and 100.
