how to shoot under flourescent lighting


I have to shoot a commercial layout in a warehouse with flourescent lighting 15' overhead. What type of film do I use with my cannon elan 7E?
I can turn the internal flash off, should I?

  When shooting under Flourescent lights as far as I know you use Daylight balanced film and use an Flourescent filter (this is slightly pink to counter the green cast of the lights). Some call these filters FLW or FL-W or something similar.

Whether or not you use the flash I can't answer but do remember that when you use your flash that the flash light is white and not green cast so you may want to take the FLW filter off when you use the flash.
