Can the camera pass the X-ray security check?

This camera can pass the X-ray security check. The working principle of the security inspection machine is similar to that of the X-ray machine used in the hospital radiology department. Scanning by emitting X-rays is mainly used to illuminate packages and luggage, which will have an impact on camera products carrying film, but it will not damage the camera and photosensitive elements themselves, so you can safely pass. According to the experimental results of American Photographic Manufacturers Association 1994, films containing ISO400 or above should not be X-rayed. The sensitivity of photographic film used in daily life is below ISO400, and it is safe to pass through airport and subway security inspection equipment under normal travel conditions. The influence of X-rays on films can be accumulated, so films with high sensitivity should avoid going through X-ray security inspection many times to avoid affecting the imaging quality.
