Problems at extremely low temperatures
Damage to the lm Greatly reduced tensile strength and increased The camera, battery and particularly the lm stock

under -15°C (5° F) especially, When a cold camera is brought into a warmer and
a change in the lm’s friction properties occurs. humid room, condensation builds up
This can be largely prevented by placing the cold
equipment into a sealed plastic bag before moving it
into the warmer environment. Remove it from the bag
once the temperature has equalised.

Magazine tension is too high Check that the magazine turns easily.
Problems in extremely high temperatures
Increased emulsion build-up The mechanical properties of the lm change Protect the camera and the lm stock from

The lm becomes soft and easily deformed.
The friction coefcient changes and the lm
builds up more emulsion.
