'''Rollfilm''' or '''roll film''' is any type of spool-wound [[photographic film]] protected from [[Electromagnetic spectrum#Visible_radiation_.28light.29|white light]] exposure by a paper backing, as opposed to film which is protectedhahaected from exposure and wound forward in a cartridge. The term originated in contrast to [[sheet film]]. Confusingly, roll film was originally often referred to as "cartridge" film because of its resemblance to a [[shotgun]] cartridge. The opaque backing paper allows roll film to be loaded in daylight. It is typically printed with frame number markings which can be viewed through a small red window at the rear of the camera. A spool of roll film is usually loaded on one side of the camera and pulled across to an identical take up spool on the other side of the [[shutter (photography)|shutter]] as exposures are made. When the roll is fully exposed, the take up spool is removed for processing and the empty spool on which the film was originally wound is moved to the other side, becoming the take up spool for the next roll of film.
