After taking a picture with a check, some people are waving the film that came out of the camera, but in fact this method may not be able to develop photos neatly.
The check film before the shooting has a developer, and the camera spreads the film evenly after shooting the film from the main unit, and the image taken appears on the film.I will.Therefore, if you shake the film that comes out of the main unit, you may be uneven without a good reaction.
Basically, if you leave it as it is, avoid direct sunlight until the image is stable, it will be beautifully finished, but in a low temperature place, it is better to put the film in your jacket pocket and warm it.Avoid extremely hot places, such as in front of the stove.
