Can someone tell me what settings is used in the pic? Just saw it online and was shot on a canon 700D/T5i. I’m only a beginner and needed help Can someone tell me how to achieve that same film vibe look on a canon dslr without post processing. I think I’ve seen it somewhere on yt that you can have that film look straight out of camera. I’ve just started out on photography so I currently have no idea about this.
