In film and high-end digital production, a "kink test" is a technical calibration process designed to expose how a camera sensor or film stock handles abrupt, non-linear shifts in exposure—particularly in high-contrast scenarios involving reflective surfaces, latex, or extreme shadow detail. The term derives from the "kink" in a characteristic curve on a waveform monitor when specular highlights fail to roll off smoothly.
