Corrections*

*Exposure correction values include filter exposure factors. These values are added to unfiltered exposure meter readings. “+” followed by number = required increase in lens opening.

Multiple Exposures

No exposure correction or color balance compensation is required for up to eight consecutive multiple expo- sures using an electronic flash.

6.EXPOSURE PRECAUTIONS

With artificial light, such as electronic flash, photoflood, fluorescent, tungsten, mercury vapor, etc., the lamp out- put and color temperature may be affected by such fac- tors as make, age of equipment and line voltage. Re- flectors and diffusers can also influence light intensity and color temperature.

7.FILM HANDLING

•Expose film before the expiration date indicated on the film package and process promptly after expo- sure.

•When loading and unloading roll film, avoid direct sunlight. If there is no shade, turning one’s back toward the sun will shade the film.

•Handle sheet film in total darkness and do not touch emulsion surfaces. (The use of a safelight will cause fogging.)

•X-ray equipment, used to inspect carry-on baggage at airport terminals can cause film fogging, so both exposed and unexposed films should be removed for manual inspection.

•Film fogging may occur near X-ray equipment in hospitals, factories, laboratories and other loca- tions. Always keep film away from possible sources of radiation.

8.FILM STORAGE

Unprocessed Film

•Storing exposed or unexposed film under high tem- perature and humidity conditions will cause adverse speed, color balance and physical property

changes. Store film under the following conditions.
ì ¼Short-to-medium term Storage:
ï	Below 15°C (59°F)	(Refrigerator)
ïí	¼Long-term Storage:
î	Below 0°C (32°F)	(Freezer)

•Building material, finishes used on newly manufac- tured furniture, paints and bonding agents may pro- duce gases which affect photographic film. Do not store film, lightproof boxes of film, loaded cameras or film holders under these conditions.

•Before use, allow films to stand at room tempera- ture: over 3 hours for refrigerated film, and over 6 hours for frozen film. Long rolls such as 100 feet (30.5m) will require additional time. Opening the package/box while film is cold may cause harmful condensation.

Processed Film

•Exposure to light, high temperature and humidity can cause color changes in processed films. Therefore, place such films in mounts or sleeves and store in dark, dry, cool and well ventilated loca-

tions under the following conditions.

ì ¼Medium-term Storage:
ï	Below 25°C (77°F) at 30 to 60% RH
ïí	¼Long-term Storage:
î	Below 10°C (50°F) at 30 to 50% RH

NOTES

As with all color dyes, those used in this film will discolor or fade with time.

9.PROCESSING

This film is designed for processing in Kodak Process E-6, Fujifilm Process CR-56, or Fuji Hunt Process C6R, etc.

10.VIEWING LIGHT SOURCES

Use a standard viewer. Visual responses will differ with light source quality and brightness. Therefore, employ a viewer which meets the ISO/ANSI standard.

•The ISO standard (ISO/DP3664-2) specifies an illu- minated viewer surface with a color temperature de-

rived from a CIE illuminant D50 (D:Daylight) with a re- ciprocal color temperature of 5000K, an average brightness of 1400cd/m2}300cd/m2, a brightness uniformity of more than 75%, a light diffusion level of more than 90% and an average color rendition as- sessment value of more than Ra90. Transparency viewers should meet these standards.

11.PRINTS AND DUPLICATES

Processed transparencies can be made into prints on FUJICHROME papers or FUJICOLOR INTERNEGATIVE FILM IT-N, thus greatly increasing RDP III’s versatility. High-quality duplicates can be made on FUJICHROME DUPLICATING FILM CDU TYPE II (CDU II).
