2010/9/14 John Wild <JWild@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > Carlos, just because you live where the sun shines... ;-)) It could be true John, however this is an exposure table sample for indoors subjects: A) Natural light: Latitude:45º to 55º N (England, northern France, etc.); September from 9 to 15 hours: EF (exposure factor) 1.- B) Climate: Sun, white clouds: EF 20 C) Window area and subject distance: 1 square meter for a subject 0.50m from the window: EF 38.- D) Window position and camera direction and room decoration: Camera 45º regarding the window, clear subject and clear room: EF 2 E) Film speed: ISO 100 (logarithmic index BS 31º), EF -31: A+B+C+D= 61-31=30. This 30 is the number to look for in the exposures table or the closest number to 30 if you don't find it= f4.5 (31) or f5.6 (30) at 1/125 or 1/100 shutter speed. It means that under the conditions above at 1/125 f8 you'll obtain an usable image hardly underexposed with natural light and without flash in northern France; however even needing flash for poorer illumination conditions, you still could get (I say "could") a no usable image at1/125 f8 with natural light enough to cause ghosts and similars if you take a second image with flash on the same frame.
