Typical Camera Exposure Processed Film A typical exposure for this film, in an aerial camera with a For best keeping, store processed film in a dark, dust-free 2X antivignetting filter, is approximately 1⁄750 second at area at 50 to 70°F (10 to 21°C) and 30 to 50 percent relative f⁄5.6. This exposure is based on a solar altitude of 40 degrees, humidity. Preferably, store negatives on the spool or in a clear day, and an aircraft altitude of 5000 feet. individual KODAK Sleeves.

DIMENSIONAL STABILITY CURVES The dimensional stability of aerial films is of particular Modulation Transfer Function interest and importance in accurate mapping and in the 1000 reproduction of maps. Dimensional stability is an all-inclusive term. In 100 70 photography, it applies to size changes caused by changes in B 50 humidity and in temperature, and by processing and aging.
