How do I meter for asa 6? In order to shoot a film with an ISO of 6, you will need a manual SLR film camera (or a newer auto SLR that can be switched to manual mode). Note that Canon EOS 35mm cameras allow you to dial in ISO 6. You can also use a light meter app on your phone, a hand-held light meter (like the Gossen Luna Pro F) or the Black Cat Exposure Guide.

You cannot shoot Low ISO film in a compact 35mm camera (like a Yashica T4 or Olympus Stylus) because the lowest ISO these cameras can shoot is ISO 25.

Keep your film Light Tight! This film stock is subject to "light piping" when exposed to room light. Please load in dim light and store in a dark camera bag before and after shooting. If storing your film in fridge, freezer or home shelf, store in a light tight bag as well. What is light piping? Read our blog by Leslie Lazenby. Film Washi is an experimental film. Your results are not guaranteed.
