In today's digital era, most digital enthusiasts want to convert analog to digital. There are many photography enthusiasts. Whether they have a digital camera first or a traditional camera first, they have some film in their hands. In addition to the expensive investment of film scanning, what other methods are there? Negative film remake, yes, remake with digital camera, but the price of buying the original remake is also very expensive, so how to use the cheapest method to digitalize the film? The author will give you a specific answer.
What you need to know before remake
Light source: Usually, people are accustomed to watching positive films under the sun or under fluorescent lights. The color temperature of daylight is 5200K, and the color temperature of ordinary fluorescent lights is 4000K. Therefore, we choose a light source around 5000K.
Macro of digital camera: Generally, digital cameras have macro, and currently there is only one manufacturer on the market-NIKON has its own special film remake clip, and NIKON CP990, CP995 and other machines have 2mm macro function, so micro The closer the distance, the greater the imaging, the larger the remake pixels!
The choice of digital file size: In general, choose the JPEG format of the largest pixel and the smallest compression ratio of the digital camera. If you have special needs, you can choose the RAW or TIFF format.
The most lazy display remake
Adjust the background of the monitor to white, adjust the brightness to the maximum, and then start the reversal of the film facing the monitor. This method can actually be used for normal film viewing, but if you really want to remake it, it won't work. You know that the display is a bit distant and consists of three colors, so it is obvious that you can see the vertical display lines after the remake. Therefore, this method is not recommended for everyone. It can only be used as the simplest way to view negatives.
Light source: select computer monitor with white background
Features: The most lazy, the most economical, and the worst
The most economical energy-saving lamp remake method
First go to a hardware or lamp store to buy a 9W ordinary energy-saving lamp, and a screw socket, the price is 8 yuan and 2 yuan, so it is very convenient to get the materials within 10 yuan. Energy-saving lamps do not need to buy high power, otherwise it will generate more heat, there is not much difference between domestic and imported.
Now we are making simple light sources. The purchased energy-saving lamps have a protective cardboard outside. We will make an article here. First cut a larger opening than the 135 film on the protective cardboard outside the energy-saving lamp. About 28x40 (135 film size is 24x36), then find a piece of 80g copy white paper to seal the mouth, in order to transmit light, you can choose other media to achieve better results. It is fixed to the opening, and you're done.
Then you can power on the energy-saving lamp and put the negative film in the light-transmitting place. Then set up a tripod and shoot. Take one negative film and one positive film. If you use light-transmitting paper in general, the effect will be average, but it is slightly better than using the display to remake directly.
Light source: ordinary energy-saving lamp, color temperature 4000K
Features: slightly easier to produce, convenient material procurement, and cheaper price
The best film viewer remake
Every fan of traditional film photography has a positive film viewer, more or less. If not, you can go to the market to buy an ordinary domestic film viewer. I have a viewer that can hold 4 negatives at the same time. The price is 160 yuan. It uses 6 AAA batteries (AAA batteries). The external power supply is DC9V, 850mA. You can refer to it when you buy.
With the positive film viewer, it is much more convenient to remake, as long as the film is put on the film.
This method is convenient and the effect is good. Because the author uses the camera macro, the effect is general. It is recommended that you can increase the close-up lens to achieve better magnification when shooting.
Light source: Viewer light source, color temperature 5000K
Features: Using positive film viewer, accurate color reproduction
In fact, the remake is just a simple digitalization of film. If you want to achieve better results, it is recommended to use film scanning, but the cost will be quite large. There are many ways to achieve the remake, this is more DIY by yourself, I hope that one day can exceed the negative scanning effect!
Matters needing attention in remake
1. Due to the high temperature of the light source in the energy-saving lamp remake method, the film will be hot after 10 minutes of shooting, so it is necessary to rest properly to avoid the film being heated and rolled up. The light source in the film remake method is a cold light source, and it will not generate heat even if it is used for a long time, which is very convenient and safe.
2. When shooting, the metering mode should be selected as the center-weighted metering, and the exposure compensation should be reduced by 0.3 to 0.7EV, and the exposure compensation can be reduced by 1.3 to 1.7EV when reproducing the negative film.
3. Set the camera's white balance, depending on the specific camera, try a few more times to get the result.
4. Be careful of the power supply when using the energy-saving lamp remake method to avoid electric shock.
