Reciprocity: The ability of the film to respond in a constant manner to a constant exposure (light intensity x time ). Reciprocity failure occurs during very long or very short exposures, requiring the photographer to increase exposure. Spectral Sensitivity: Shows the equivalent energy needed at each wavelength in order to activate the emulsion dyes so that they produce a neutral density of 0.75. Action Spectra: Shows the films relative sensitivity throughout the visual spectrum.
