The effect of color correction filters designed for conventional cameras |
Florescent light and a variable colored filter were tried with a digital camera |
If you use a color correction filter designed for a conventional film camera, it will produce the intended effect. But it will not be that different from the correction obtained by the auto-white balance feature. The slight difference in hues might make this worthwhile for those who like to experiment. |
When you want to achieve drastic changes in color or other special effects, you should use a densely colored filter, or attach the filter to the flash instead of the lens. |
