Analog imaging film refers to photosensitive materials used to capture and store visual information through chemical or physical changes rather than digital sensors. While widely replaced by digital technology, analog films remain essential in artistic photography, professional filmmaking, and specific medical applications.
These films require chemical processing in a darkroom or an automatic film processor.
