EASTMAN EKTACHROME
Film (Daylight) 7239™

DESCRIPTION

EASTMAN EKTACHROME Film 7239 (Daylight) is a
high-speed color reversal film intended for photography
under low-level daylight illumination. Among its many
applications are news photography, sporting events, and
high-speedphotography. Theprocessed original camerafilm
isready for projection; because it is balanced for projection
at 5400 K, it is suitable for television broadcasting.
Youcan expose this film at effective film speeds ranging
from1⁄ 2 to 2 times the normal exposure indexes with little
lossin quality. For emergency situations when some loss in
qualityis acceptable, increase the normal exposure index by
the equivalent of 2 to 3 stops. When you expose the film at
other than the normal exposure index, tell the processing
laboratory so they can adjust the processing.
The processed camera original on EASTMAN
EKTACHROME Film (Daylight) is meant for direct
projection; however, you can make color duplicates on
EASTMAN EKTACHROME Print Film 7399.

BASE

This film has a clear acetate safety base.

DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS

Handleunprocessed film in total darkness until after the stop
bathfollowing first development. You can do the remaining
operationsin a normally lighted room. Use a safelight with a
KODAK Safelight Filter No. 3 / dark green to illuminate
dials,meters, etc, during first development; do not shine the
light directly on the film.

STORAGE

Storeunexposed film at 13˚C (55˚F) or lower. Process
exposed film promptly. Storeprocessed film at 21˚C (70˚F)
orlower at a relative humidity of 40 to 50 percent for normal
commercial storage. For more information on long-term
storage,see KODAK Publications No. H-1, KODAK Motion
Picture Film, and No. H-23, The Book of Film Care.

COLOR BALANCE

This film is balanced for daylight exposure. For other light
sources, use the correction filters in the table below.
Note:Consult the manufacturer of high-intensity ultraviolet
lamps for safety information on ultraviolet radiation and
ozone generation.

EXPOSURE INDEX/DIN

Daylight—160/23
Tungsten* (3200 K)—40/17
Use these indexes with incident- or reflected-light exposure
meters and cameras marked for ISO or ASA speeds or
exposureindexes. These indexes apply for meter readings of
average subjects made from the camera position or for
readings made from a gray card of 18-percent reflectance
heldclose to and in front of the subject. For unusually light-
or dark-colored subjects, decrease or increase the exposure
indicated by the meter accordingly.
