What’s what with your camera and film.

There are loads of different types of film. So, to make matters really simple, our film names don’t always match our camera’s names. Look to the stars for answers or check inside your camera’s film door to find out if you need i-Type, 600, SX-70, Go, or 8x10. Vintage cameras don’t have batteries in the camera; they’re in the film pack (600 Film). Modern models charge up, so you can use i-Type Film. On your film packaging, there is a date. This is not the expiration date, it’s the production date. It’s best used within 12 months. Otherwise known as one year or a lap of the sun.

When storing your film, let’s not have any monkeying around. Keep it cool, dry, and flat in a fridge. Ape-preciate its delicate nature; it can’t handle direct sunlight. And remember, let it warm up before you go absolutely bananas. OO-OOO-OOO-AA-AAA-AAA.
