The range, in f-stop, that deviates from the optical exposure but will still produce acceptable results on a specific film.
The range of exposure at which the photosensitive material (film or sensor) will produce an acceptable image. Most slide films have small exposure latitude (in the 1-stop range). Most print films have big exposure latitude (in the 5-stop range), because exposure can be compensated in the printing stage. Comments & Discussion
The range of exposures in which a satisfactory image will be produced on a particular type of film or sensor.
Degree to which film can be underexposed or overexposed and still yield satisfactory results.
The range of camera exposures from underexposure to overexposure that will produce acceptable pictures from a specific film.
The amount by which you can over or under expose a light-sensitive material with standard processing, and still achieve an acceptable result.
The range of exposures corresponding to the useful optical density range of the emulsion.
a measure of a specific film's ability to be overexposed or underexposed and still produce an acceptable image. It is measured in a range of ƒ-stops. Most negative films (regardless of brand name) have an exposure latitude of five to seven stops, whereas most transparency (slide) films have less exposure latitude –– in the range of three to five ƒ-stops. This handheld EXPOSURE METER measures both incident light and electronic flash.
The range within which a film can tolerate errors in exposure and still produce acceptable results.
Amount by which it is possible to over or underexpose a light sensitive material and, with standard processing, still produce acceptable results.
Exposure latitude is the extent to which a light-sensitive material can be over or underexposed and still achieve an acceptable result. Since the acceptability of the result is dependent on both personal aesthetics and artistic intentions, the measurement of exposure latitude is by definition somewhat subjective. However, the relative values between different types of film are generally agreed upon: reversal film tends to have very little latitude, while color negative film has considerably more.
