Daylight film is a type of colour photographic film specifically balanced for subjects illuminated by light with a colour temperature around 5500K, which closely matches natural daylight. This balance ensures accurate and natural colour reproduction when shooting outdoors or under daylight-mimicking artificial light sources. Daylight film is commonly used in landscape, portrait, and architectural photography, helping photographers avoid unwanted colour casts that can occur with tungsten or other warm light sources. Understanding the correct film type for your lighting conditions is essential for achieving vivid, true-to-life colours in your photographs.
