blow
~up,

pusb-processing whenever possible, ln fact,

increase color saturation and detail

rc:sults,
it
is
recommended to overexpose the negative anywhere
from
113
to one stop, depending on the
slOck
and the desired
look.

video lnmsfer, slight overexposure is
rccommended for the same reasons, but care must
he
taken.

inereases video noise. The benefits

posure is
