8. FILM STORAGE
7. FILM HANDLING
Unprocessed Film
• Expose film before the expiration date indicated on
the film package and process as soon as possible
after exposure.
• When loading and unloading roll film, avoid direct
sunlight. If there is no shade, turning one’s back to-
ward the sun will shade the film.
• Storing exposed or unexposed film under hot and
humid conditions may adversely affect speed, color
balance and physical property changes. Store film
under the following conditions.
Ï
Ordinary Storage: Protect from heat.
Long-term Storage: Below 0°C (32°F)
• Camera-loaded film should be exposed and pro-
cessed immediately.
Ï
• Building materials, 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 near these materials.
• Before use, allow films to stand at room-temperature
over 1 hour. Opening the package/box while film is
cold may cause harmful condensation.
• Unprocessed film should be kept away from X-rays
used to inspect checked-in baggage, etc. at airport
terminals. Strong X-rays can cause fogging of un-
processed film. It is recommended such film be
placed in your carry-on baggage whenever possible.
(Consult with airport personnel for details.)
• Film fogging may occur near X-ray equipment used
in hospitals, factories, laboratories and other loca-
tions. Always keep film away from possible sources
of radiation.
Processed Film
Exposure to light, high temperature and humid condi-
tions can cause color changes in processed films.
Therefore, place such films in sleeves and store them in
dark, dry, cool and well ventilated locations under the
following conditions.
Ï
General Storage:
Below 25°C (77°F) at 30% to 60% RH
Long-term Storage:
Below 10°C (50°F) at 30% to 50% RH
Ï
NOTE
As with all color dyes, those used in this film will dis-
color or fade with time.

11. PROCESSING
This film is intended for processing by Fujifilm Pro-
cesses CN-16, CN-16Q, CN-16FA, CN-16L, CN-16S or
Process C-41.
10-1 Super Fine-Σ (Sigma) Grain Technology
• By incorporating the Super Fine-Σ (Sigma) grain, a
further advance over the Fine-Σ (Sigma) grain intro-
duced in SUPERIA X-TRA 800 film, this film realizes
very high level of grain quality among ISO 400-class
films.
11-1 Replenishment Rate
The following table shows the replenishment rates for
each type of Fujifilm Processes.
• To achieve the high sensitivity and small volume of
the Super Fine-Σ (Sigma) grain, uniform, thin-crystal
technology was used to produce crystals with ap-
proximately half the thickness of the hexagonal crys-
tals used in the current SUPERIA X-TRA 400. The
higher uniformity in size and improved light-collection
efficiency of these grains have made possible a film
with higher sensitivity than that of the current
SUPERIA X-TRA 400 and extremely smooth grain
quality, regardless of the film’s high speed.

4-2 Processing Solution Control
Use the current 135-size control strips for processing
solution control.
13. JUDGING EXPOSURE RESULTS
SUPERIA X-TRA 400 exposure results can be accurately
predicted by using an electronic densitometer equipped
with Status M filters. An 18% gray card, receiving the
same illumination as the subject, when read through the
RED filter should render density readings between 0.75
and 0.95 (for exposures under recommended lighting
and with optimal film processing).
4-3 Processing-Photographic Characteristics
Same as those for SUPERIA 400.
12. PRINTER CONDITIONS
This film can be printed on the same printer setup with
results similar to the current film. However, depending
on the printer type, a slight blue cast might appear in the
overexposed areas. If this occurs, adjustment of printer
conditions may be necessary.
