What happens when you take out the film in the camera?

Will the pictures be ruined by the time I develop them? I don't have it in sunlight, I haven't touched it, and it's in an envelope made ecpecially for the film. I heard that once you take out the film and you don't develop them right away they are no good. Is that true?|||Ok, you mean of course that you "rewound" the film back into it's canister, right?





You should get the film developed as soon as possible....


however...


as long as the film is in it's container and away from direct sunlight (in that envelope is a good thing) and, most important of all, the film is NOT subjected to any high temperatures (like on a counter in an 80-90 degree room) it should be ok even for months....





A good way to ruin your film would be to leave it in your car, windows closed on a hot day. The temperatures in closed automobiles can easily reach 60潞C (140潞F) or more. A few hours under these conditions, either before or after exposure, can severely affect the quality of the film.





For better protection, store the undeveloped film in your refrigerator.


Professional photographers typically store their fresh, unexposed film in a refrigerator until they are ready to use it (they let it come up to room temperature before loading the film into their camera).





So, your film is "probably" safe with what you are doing but again, have it developed as soon as you can.|||If light gets to the actual place that the pictures are, it can ruin the exposure.|||I only know that the film can get ruined if you open the camera up. It's best to just take the camera to a place where they develop pictures.|||you took the film out....is it in a metal container protected from the light? or is it the actual film...you know,like the plastic strip,what the negative is on.if its in the metal container your probably ok......if not than its exposed to light and its no good|||Light? You mean as in sunlight or light from the room?


Any light.
