This film also shares the features of FUJICHROMEPROVIA 100 (RDP II), including excellent long and mul-tiple exposure performace, color image stability, highimage quality, and is highly resistant to performancevariations caused by raw film aging.

EmulsionNumber

Ultrafine grain for beautifulskin tone reproduction withsmooth and continuoustextures

Natural color reproduction,ranging from delicate tintsto primary color-like vivid-ness

Realistic reproduction ofsubtle gradations

Smooth and natural transi-tion of tones provided byhighly linear gradationcurves from the highlightsto the shadows

Greater resistance to colortemperature-induced colorimbalance due to shadowsand backlighting conditions,making the film more appli-cable in a wider range ofsituations

No effect on color balanceand gradation by 1-stoppush-processing or 1/2-stop pull-processing, allow-ing greater exposure flex-ibility under varied subjectconditions

Can be processed any-where in the world as withother FUJICHROME films

Electronic Flash

Since electronic flash characteristics are similar todaylight, no filters are required. Effective light out-put and color balance will differ with equipmenttype, age and other factors, requiring initial expo-sure tests.

Adjust lens openings for electronic flash accordingto following formula.

Set the film speed at ISO 100. Since the amountof light reflected onto the subject from surround-ing surfaces will differ with the conditions, refer toflash unit instructions.

Photo-Reflector Lamps (Daylight PhotofloodLamps)

Daylight photoflood lamps tend to result in under-exposure, so it is sometimes essential to increaseexposure light output beyond that indicated by anexposure meter.

Color balance and light output will differ with lampconfiguration, duration of use and applied voltage.It is essential that exposure conditions be deter-mined in relation to the particular lighting equip-ment employed.

Fluorescent Lamps

Color balance corrections should be made usingthe filter combinations suggested below becauseeffective light intensity and color balance varieswith lamp make and age.

For exacting work, test exposures are recom-mended.

(Exposure Time: 1/4 second)

The foregoing settings are for 2 hours after sunrise and 2hours before sunset.

Provide lens opening 1/2 stop smaller during the summerand 1/2 stop larger during the winter.

Excessively bright (or dark) or backlighted subjects may re-quire plus or minus 1 stop lens opening adjustments.

NOTES Use 1/30th or slower shutter speeds. For shutter speeds longer than 64 seconds, exposure

adjustments will be necessary to compensate for reci-procity.

4. EXPOSURE GUIDE AND EXPOSUREUNDER VARIOUS LIGHT CONDITIONS

Use a meter for exposure determination. If a meter isnot available refer to the following table.

3FUJICHROME ASTIA 100 PROFESSIONAL [RAP] FUJIFILM DATA SHEET

Tungsten Lamps

A Kodak Filter No. 80A (or Fuji Light Balancing Fil-ter LBB-12) is recommended with photofloodlamps. A 1 2/3 stop larger lens opening is also rec-ommended.

With household tungsten lamps, a Kodak FilterNo. 82A (or Fuji Light Balancing Filter LBB-2) willcompensate for inherent color temperatures lowerthan photoflood lamps. A 2 stop larger lens open-ing is recommended.

Mixed Light Sources

Under mixed light conditions, derive the basic filterconfiguration for the main light source.

5. LONG AND MULTIPLE EXPOSURECOMPENSATIONS

No exposure or color balance compensation is re-quired for exposures within a 1/4000 to 32 secondsshutter speed range. However for exposures of 64seconds or longer, reciprocity-related color balanceand exposure compensations are required.

Multiple Exposures

Make the following color and exposure compensationsfor electronic flash multiple exposures.

* Exposure correction values include filter exposure factors.These values are added to unfiltered exposure meter read-ings. "+" = Lens opening.

6. EXPOSURE PRECAUTIONS

For artificial light sources such as electronic flash, pho-toflood lamps, fluorescent lamps, tungsten lamps, mer-cury lamps and the like, effective light output and colortemperatures will vary with the type, the applied volt-age and the age of the equipment. Also, light intensityor color temperature differences may be caused byvariations in auxiliary lighting equipment such as reflec-tors and diffusers.

7. FILM HANDLING

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

When loading and unloading roll film avoid directsunlight. If there is no shade, turning one's backtoward the sun will shade the film.

Handle sheet film in total darkness. (The use of asafelight will cause fogging.)

Under certain conditions, the X-ray equipmentused to inspect carry-on baggage at airport termi-nals will adversely affect photographic film (causefogging). The adverse effects of this are increasedwith the strength of the X-rays, the speed of thefilm, and the cumulative number of inspection ex-posures.Therefore, it is recommended that at each inspec-tion the film be removed from the baggage and air-port security personnel be asked to inspect the filmmanually.

Film fogging may occur in hospitals, factories, labo-ratories and other locations using X-rays and otherradiation sources.

8. FILM STORAGE

Unprocessed Film

Storing exposed or unprocessed film under hightemperature and humidity conditions will cause ad-verse speed, color balance and physical propertychanges. Store film under the following condi-tions.

o Short-to-medium term Storage:Below 15C (59F) ........ (Refrigerator)

o Long-term Storage:Below 0C (32F) .......... (Freezer)

Building supplies, newly manufactured furniture,paints and bonding agents may produce noxiousgases. Do not store film, lighttight boxes with film,loaded cameras or film holders under these condi-tions.

135 Size

Before use, allow films to stand in room-tempera-ture; over 3 hours for refrigerated film, and over 6hours for frozen film. Further, long windings suchas 100 feet will require more time. Opening con-tainer while film is cold may cause harmful conden-sation.

Processed Film

Light, high temperature and humidity cause colorchanges in processed films. Therefore, place suchfilms in mounts or sleeves and store in dark, dry, cooland well ventilated locations under the following condi-tions.

o Medium-term Storage:Below 25C (77F) at 30 to 60% RH

o Long-term Storage:Below 10C (50F) at 30 to 50% RH

9. PROCESSING

Handle film in total darkness.Process in standard E-6, CR-56 or equivalent chemicals.

10. VIEWING LIGHT SOURCES

Use a standard viewer. Visual responses will differ withlight source quality and brightness. Therefore, employ aviewer which meets the ISO/ANSI standards.* The ISO standard (ISO/DP3664-2) specifies an illuminated

viewer surface with a color temperature derived from a CIEilluminant D50 (D: Daylight) with a reciprocal color tempera-ture of 5000K, an average brightness of 1400cd/m2 300cd/m2, a brightness uniformity of more than 75%, a light diffu-sion level of more than 90% and an average color renditionassessment value of more than Ra90. Transparency viewersshould meet these standards.

11. PRINTS AND DUPLICATES

Processed transparencies can be made into prints onFUJICHROME PAPER TYPE 35 or FUJICOLORINTERNEGATIVE FILM IT-N. Duplicates can be madeon FUJICHROME DUPLICATING FILM CDU TYPE II.

12. RETOUCHING

Use commercially available retouching dyes and bleach-ing chemicals.
