Film

File:Film.jpg

Film is used for the Research Camera, and is common and inexpensive. It can be bought in vending machines or found around Rapture. Film can sometimes be salvaged from destroyed Security Cameras. The amount of research done on a given photo depends on factors such as number of enemies in frame, visibility of enemy, if enemy is centered in frame, if enemy is attacking, if enemy is alive, and whether that specific enemy has been previously photographed. If a photo's "score" is too low to be counted, or a photo is taken on a completed research subject, no film will be used. Credit is not given for taking pictures of "friendly" security devices, but is given for friendly Big Daddies and Security Bots called by hacked Security Cameras. Equipping Photographer's Eye gives an additional bonus to research.
