Type B Film

SWPP Photographic Glossary

Type B film is a colour photographic film balanced for artificial light sources with a colour temperature of approximately 3200K. This makes it particularly suitable for indoor and studio lighting conditions where precise colour reproduction is required.

Photographers use Type B film to ensure natural-looking colours under tungsten or other artificial lighting setups. Understanding the correct film type for your light source helps avoid colour casts and produces high-quality images with accurate and consistent colour rendition.
