KODAK VISION3 500T Color Negative Film 5219 / 7219 / SO-219

TECHNICAL DATA / COLOR NEGATIVE FILM

The first in a new family of films, VISION3 500T Film gives you more control and flexibility at every phase of the filmmaking process—from capture through post, in both digital and traditional workflows.

VISION3 500T Film retains the overall look and image structure of KODAK VISION2 Films—then adds technical innovations that provide improved exposure latitude—at both ends of the curve. Proprietary, advanced Dye Layering Technology (DLT) gives you noticeably reduced grain in shadows, so you can shoot at higher speeds, with less light, in darker corners, and know you can capture an amazing amount of shadow detail with noticeably lower grain.

VISION3 500T Film also features extended highlight latitude, so you can follow the action into bright light-in a single shot-without worrying about blown-out details. When the film is scanned and digitized, you'll find you can recover two stops of highlight detail. This technology is enabled by the use of sub-micron imaging sensors.

VISION3 500T Film fits seamlessly into your digital workflow. And when scanning low-light scenes, VISION3 500T Film yields higher signal-to-noise ratios for unprecedented image quality.

BASE

KODAK VISION3 500T Color Negative Films 5219 and 7219 have an acetate safety base with rem-jet backing.

STORAGE

Store unexposed film at 13°C (55°F) or lower. For extended storage, store at -18°C (0°F) or lower. Process exposed film promptly. Store processed film according to the recommendations in ANSI/PIMA IT9.11-1998: for medium-term storage (minimum of ten years), store at 10°C (50°F) or lower at a relative humidity of 20 to 30 percent; for extended-term storage (for preservation of material having permanent value), store at 2°C (35°F) or lower at a relative humidity of 20 to 30 percent. For active use, store at 25°C (77°F) or lower, at a relative humidity of 50 +/- 5 percent. This relates to optimized film handling rather than preservation; static, dust-attraction and curl-related problems are generally minimized at the higher relative humidity. After usage, the film should be returned to the appropriate medium- or long-term storage conditions as soon as possible.

For more information about medium- and long-term storage, see ANSI/PIMA IT9.11-1998, SMPTE RP131-2002, and KODAK Publications No. H-1, KODAK Motion Picture Film and No. H-23, The Book of Film Care.

EXPOSURE INDEXES

Tungsten (3200K) - 500 Daylight1 - 320

Use these indexes with incident- or reflected-light exposure meters and cameras marked for ISO or ASA speeds or exposure indexes. 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 held close to and in front of the subject. For unusually light- or dark-colored subjects, decrease or increase the exposure indicated by the meter accordingly.

COLOR BALANCE

These films are balanced for exposure with tungsten illumination (3200K). You can also expose them with tungsten lamps that have slightly higher or lower color temperatures (+/- 150K) without correction filters, since final color balancing can be done in printing. For other light sources, use the correction filters in the table below.

*These are approximate corrections only. Make final corrections during printing.

These are starting-point recommendations for trial exposures. If the kind of lamp is unknown, a KODAK Color Compensating Filter CC 40R can be used with an exposure index (EI) of 250.

Note: Consult the manufacturer of high-intensity ultraviolet lamps for safety information on ultraviolet radiation and ozone generation.
