Reciprocity law failure

A wide range of shutter speeds can be used without loss of film speed
or requirements for color filtration. For longer exposure times, some
exposure compensation and filtration is suggested.

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.
