ETERNA 400 Tungsten Balanced Film


Exposure Index

Daylight 250 (with Fuji light balancing filter LBA-12 or Kodak daylight filter No 85)
3200 K tungsten lamps 400

Numbers are for use with exposure metres marked for ISO/ASA speeds. Please note, however, that recommended exposure indexes may not apply due to differences in exposure metres, how they are used, and processing conditions. For best results, test exposures should be made base on instructions for the exposure metre to be used.


Colour Balance

ETERNA 400 is colour balanced for tungsten light (3200K), and requires no filters for use in these conditions. When shooting outdoors in daylight or under other light sources, the following conversion filters and exposure adjustments should be made.

Light source Filter Exposure index
Tungsten light None 400
Daylight (sunlight & skylight) Fuji filter LBA-12 or Kodak daylight filter No 85 250
Metal halide lamps (e.g. HMI) Fuji filter LBA-12 or Kodak daylight filter No 85 250
Ordinary fluorescent lamps
White light type Fuji filter CC-30R or Kodak filter CC30R 200
Daylight type Fuji filter LBA-12 or Kodak daylight filter No 85 250
Three-band fluorescent lamps
White daylight type (5000K) Fuji filter CC-30R or Kodak filter CC30R 250
Daylight type (6700K) Fuji filter CC-40R or Kodak filter CC40R 160

These filter recommendations will provide approximate colour temperature coversion. Final colour correction should be done when printing.


Reciprocity Characteristics

ETERNA 400 requires no filter corrections or exposure adjustments for shutter speeds of 1/1000 to 1/10 second. For exposures of 1 second, open the lens 1/3 of a stop.


Film Base

Film is coated on a triacetate safety base. The film base has been tinted light cyan to prevent fogging of ends that can occur when loading spools of film into the camera in light.


Safelight

This film should be handled in total darkness.


Processing

ETERNA 400 can be processed with Process ECN-2 and formulas published by Eastman Kodak for Eastman Color Negative Film. In the bleaching step, persulfate bleach, ferricyanide bleach or PDTA-ferric blach (UL bleach) can be used.


Edge Markings

The MR code system [edge number, film identification mark (FN83), and machine-readable bar code for each, film name (FUJI 400), emulsion number, roll numer, frame marks (4 perforations apart for 35mm film; no frame marks for 16mm film)] is printed as latent images.


Handling of Exposed Film

Exposed film should be processed as soon as possible. If exposed film cannot be processed within one week of exposure, it should be stored at temperatures below 10C (50F) and processed as soon as possible.
