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.

KODAK VISION3 500T Color Negative Film SO-219 has an ESTAR 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

EXPOSURE INDEXES

Tungsten (3200K) - 500 Daylight 1 - 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.

DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS

Do not use a safelight. Handle unprocessed film in total darkness.

EXPOSURE TABLE - TUNGSTEN LIGHT

At 24 frames per second (fps), 170-degree shutter opening:

Lens Aperture f/1.4

f/2 f/2.8

f/4 f/5.6

f/8 f/11 f/16

Footcandles

Required

5 10 20 40 80 160 320 640

Use this table for average subjects that contain a combination of light, medium, and dark colors. When a subject includes only pastels, use at least 1/2 stop less exposure; dark colors require 1/2 stop more exposure.

Lighting Contrast -

The recommended ratio of key-light-plus-fill-light to fill light is 2:1 or 3:1. However, you may use 4:1 or greater when a particular look is desired.

RECIPROCITY CHARACTERISTICS

You do not need to make any filter corrections or exposure adjustments for exposure times from 1/1000 of a second to 1 second. In the 10-second range, increase exposure 1 stop and use a KODAK Color Compensating Filter CC 10R.

PROCESSING

Process in Process ECN-2.

Most commercial motion-picture laboratories provide a processing service for these films. See KODAK Publication

No. H-24.07, Processing KODAK Color Negative Motion

Picture Films, Module 7 available online at http:// www.kodak.com/US/plugins/acrobat/en/motion/ support/processing/h247/h2407.pdf, for more information on the solution formulas and the procedure for machine processing these films. There are also pre-packaged kits available for preparing the processing solutions. For more information on the KODAK ECN-2 Kit

Chemicals, check Kodak's Motion Picture Films for

Professional Use price catalog.

IDENTIFICATION

After processing, the product code numbers 5219 (35 mm), 7219 (16 mm), or SO-219 (16, 35, and 65 mm; edgeprint shows 0219) emulsion, roll, and strip number identification, KEYKODE Numbers, and manufacturer/film

2 identification code (EJ) are visible along the length of the film.

LABORATORY AIM DENSITIES (LAD)

To maintain optimum quality and consistency in the final prints, the laboratory must carefully control the color timing, printing, and duplicating procedures. To aid in color timing and curve placement, negative originals should be timed relative to Laboratory Aim Density (LAD) Control

Film supplied by Eastman Kodak Company.

2 The LAD

Control Film provides both objective sensitometric control and subjective verification of the duplicating procedures used by the laboratory.

In the LAD Control Method, 3 the electronic color analyzer used for color timing is set-up with the LAD

Control Film to produce a gray video display of the LAD patch, corresponding to 1.0 neutral density (gray) on the print. The negative printing original is then scene-to-scene timed. There are specific LAD values for each type of print or duplicating film that the original can be printed on. For print films, the LAD patch is printed to a neutral gray of 1.0 visual density. For duplicating films, the specified aims are at the center of the usable straight-line portion of the sensitometric curve of the film.

Due to normal variations in exposure and processing of color negative films, particular scenes may not print exactly at the same printer lights as the LAD Control Film.

The LAD Control Film is intended as a set-up tool for electronic color analyzers and printers. It is NOT a reference that every scene must match. Normal film-to-film and scene-to-scene exposure variability is accommodated by the color timing (grading) process, on an electronic color analyzer set up with the LAD Control

Film. Normally exposed and processed color negatives will typically print well within the range of an additive printer setup with the LAD Control Film, although SIGNIFICANT or UNEXPECTED departures from this center point balance may indicate an exposure/filtration problem with the cinematography or with the process control. Some specialized films and/or specialized negative processing techniques (push-processing, pull-processing,

"skip-bleach" processing, etc.) may require more extreme adjustment from the LAD printing condition to attain desired results.

More information is contained in KODAK Publication

H-61, Laboratory Aim Density, available online at http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/support/ lad.jhtml.

FILM-TO-TAPE TRANSFERS

When you transfer the film directly to tape, you can set up the telecine using KODAK Telecine Analysis Film (TAF)

2. Direct any inquiries to one of the regional sales offices.

3. Use of the LAD Control Method is described in the paper, "A Simplified

Motion-Picture Laboratory Control Method for Improved Color

Duplication," by John P. Pytlak and Alfred W. Fleischer in the October 1976

SMPTE Journal.

H-1-5219t

supplied by Eastman Kodak Company. The TAF consists of a neutral density scale and an eight-bar color test pattern with a LAD gray surround.

The TAF gray scale provides the telecine operator

(colorist) with an effective way to adjust subcarrier balance and to center the telecine controls before timing and transferring a film. The TAF color bars provide the utility of electronic color bars, even though they do not precisely match the electronically generated color bars.

Using the TAF will help obtain optimum quality and consistency in the film-to-tape transfer. For more information regarding TAF, see KODAK Publication No.

H-9, TAF User's Guide.

IMAGE STRUCTURE

The modulation-transfer and diffuse rms granularity curves were generated from samples of 5219 Film exposed with tungsten light and processed as recommended in

Process ECN-2 chemicals. For more information on image-structure characteristics, see KODAK Publication

No. H-1, KODAK Motion Picture Film available online at http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/support/h1.

Modulation Transfer Function

The "perceived" sharpness of any film depends on various components of the motion picture production system. The camera and projector lenses and film printers, among other factors, all play a role. But the specific sharpness of a film can be measured and is charted in the Modulation Transfer

Function Curve.

rms Granularity:

Refer to curve.

Read with a microdensitometer, (red, green, blue) using a 48-micrometer aperture.

The "perception" of the graininess of any film is highly dependent on scene content, complexity, color, and density. Other factors, such as film age, processing, exposure conditions, and telecine transfer may also have significant effects.

Note: The exposure scale for VISION3 5219 / 7219 Film is longer than previous VISION and VISON2 Films. Because of the extended highlight latitude of and because we need to measure in this region, we expanded the exposure scale from a zero to four increment to a zero to five scale. In addition to the longer exposure scale, we are plotting twenty-one steps instead of twenty.

NOTICE: The sensitometric curves and data in this publication represent product tested under the conditions of exposure and processing specified. They are representative of production coatings, and therefore do not apply directly to a particular box or roll of photographic material. They do not represent standards or specifications that must be met by Eastman Kodak Company. The company reserves the right to change and improve
