A question on Fujifilm custom recipes

[Sany]

I tried to use Kodachrome 64 recipe and it worked as desired. I am still new to these recipes and hence I have a question. As the night fell and the ambient turned yellowish with candescent bulbs - I see all the pictures were yellowish and brown and colors could be faintly noticed. My question is, are all these recipes made for day time shooting only unless specified? So if you want to use on certain darker lighting conditions -

1. Do I need to change the White Balance to Auto?

2. By doing so, will this not be a Kodachrome 64 anymore?

IIRC, Kodachrome 64 was balanced for daytime light and if the recipe is attempting to faithfully reproduce K64, then the image colors will shift under different temps of light. You can modify the recipe and use Auto WB, if the recipe specifies WB, or make the change yourself in settings.

Analog shooters working in other than daylight, use filters in front of the lens to adjust the light's temp before hitting the film. That isn't recommended for digital photography, but we can adj WB in camera or in post.

Hope this helps.
