Abstract:
A one-time-use camera preloaded with a color photographic element for producing a color image suited for conversion to an electronic form, electronic correction and subsequent reconversion into a viewable form,said camera comprising a body having a lens and a shutter and preloaded with a light sensitive silver halide color element,said element comprising a support and, coated on the support,a plurality of hydrophilic colloid layers, including radiation-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers, forming layer units for separately recording blue, green and red exposures,each of the layer units containing dye image-forming coupler chosen to produce image dye having an absorption half-peak bandwidth lying in a different spectral region in each layer unit,WHEREINthe element comprises a development inhibitor releasing compound in at least one layer unit;the layer units each comprises less than 0.02 millimole/m.sup.2 of colored masking coupler,the layer units each exhibits a dye image gamma of less than 1.5,the element exhibits an exposure latitude of at least 2.7 log E, where E is exposure measured in lux-seconds, and a light sensitivity of at least ISO 50, andthe gamma ratio of each of the red, green and blue light recording layer units is between 0.80 and 1.20.
