The Kodak Sport is a disposable camera model that comes in a waterproof case. Although it is marketed under the AgfaPhoto brand, it is not produced by the German company Agfa.
The camera, made of plastic, has a fixed lens. With this camera, it is not possible to adjust the distance to the subject, as the focus is fixed.
Both aperture and shutter speed are unchangeable, and there is no built-in flash. What makes this camera unique is the waterproof housing, which remains waterproof to a depth of fifteen meters.
No batteries are needed for operation. There is also no built-in flash.
Applications
The Kodak Sport is ideal for taking underwater pictures while snorkeling, splashing in the water, or on a beach day.
It allows you to capture stunning underwater moments such as colorful coral reefs or exotic marine life while snorkeling. While splashing in the water, serene moments can be captured with family and friends in the clear water. At the beach, it’s perfect for photographing water games or capturing happy sunbathing moments.
Its simple operation and rugged construction make it the ideal companion for water and beach adventures to capture unforgettable moments.
Types of film for the Kodak Sport
What kind of film is suitable for the Kodak Sport? It uses 35mm film, with film already loaded in the camera. It is a color film with a light sensitivity of ISO 800.
ISO 800 is a suitable value for different lighting conditions. Since it is a color negative film, minor mis-exposures are not a problem. Since the camera does not have a flash and has a small aperture, low-light shooting is not recommended.
The exposure range of the Kodak Sport camera is 24 mm x 36 mm. The film roll has room for about 27 exposures. The film is manually advanced to the next frame. Rewinding is not necessary.
Development
After all the shots have been taken, the film or camera must be submitted for development. Many professional photo labs offer this service.
The C-41 process is a common method for developing color film and is offered by most labs. After completing this process, you receive the negatives from which you can make prints or have them digitized. Most labs offer these services directly.
