Silver halide photographic light-sensitive material

Abstract

A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material that has at least one silver halide emulsion layer on a support, the light-sensitive material containing a surfactant represented by the following formula (F), and having the characteristic curve that a gamma in the range of an optical density from 0.3 to 3.0 is 5.0 or more, on the characteristic curve shown in a rectangular coordinate where a logarithmic exposure amount (the x axis) and an optical density (the y axis) are indicated according to the same unit length; [Rf—(Rc)n]m—Z  formula (F) wherein Rf represents a perfluoroalkyl group, Rc represents an alkylene group, Z represents a group having an anionic group, cationic group, amphoteric ionic group, or nonionic polar group, n is an integer of 0 or 1, and m is an integer of 1 to 3.
