Store unexposed film at 21

° C (70° F) or lower in the 

original sealed package. For extended periods, store film at 
13

° C (55° F) to preserve consistency.

To avoid moisture condensation on film that has been 

refrigerated, allow the film to warm up to room 
temperature before opening the package. Typical warm-up 
times are given in the table below.

Load and unload roll-film cameras in subdued light. 

Total darkness is required when you load and unload sheet 
film holders.

Process film as soon as possible after exposure. Protect 

negatives from strong light, and store them in a cool, dry 
place. For long-term storage, keep negatives at a 
temperature between 2

° C (35° F) and 13° C (55° F) and at 

a relative humidity between 30 and 35 percent.

Do not use a safelight. Handle unprocessed film in total
