The number of usable images can sometimes be lower than the number of exposures on your roll. This is often due to underexposure, which occurs when the film doesn’t receive enough light to produce a visible image. Underexposure can result in very dark images or completely blank frames, particularly when shooting in low-light conditions without a flash or when a flash fails to fire.
Unfortunately, if an image hasn’t received enough light, there may be little to no detail to recover during scanning.
