STORAGE AND HANDLING
Store unexposed film at 21°C (70°F) or lower in the original
sealed package. For extended periods, store film at
13°C(55°F) to preserve consistency.
To avoid moisture condensation on film that has been
refrigerated, allow the film to warm up to room temperature
before opening the package. Typical warm-up times are
given in the table below.
Load and unload roll-film cameras in subdued light. Total
darkness is required when you load and unload sheet film
holders.
Process film as soon as possible after exposure. Protect
negatives from strong light, and store them in a cool, dry
place. For long-term storage, keep negatives at a temperature
between 2°C (35°F) and 13°C (55°F) and at a relative
humidity between 30 and 35 percent.
Note: High speed films, such as PORTRA 800 Film, are
sensitive to environmental radiation. Expose and process this
film promptly. As exposure to radiation is cumulative, you
may want to request visual inspection of PORTRA 800 film
at airport and other security x-ray inspection stations.
DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS
Do not use a safelight. Handle unprocessed film in total
darkness.

EXPOSURE
Film Speed
Use the speed numbers in the tables below with cameras or
meters marked for ISO, ASA, or DIN speeds or exposure
indexes (EIs). Do not change the film-speed setting when
metering through a filter. Metering through filters may affect
light meter accuracy; see your meter or camera manual for
specific information. For critical work, make a series of test
exposures.
*
For best results without special printing.
Note: The latitude of PORTRA 160NC and 160VC Films
allows you to use 100-speed proofing products for test
exposures.
Daylight
Use the exposures in the table below for average frontlit
subjects from 2 hours after sunrise to 2 hours before sunset.
*
Use f/5.6 for backlit close-up subjects.
Use f/8 for backlit close-up subjects.

Use the appropriate guide number in the table below as
starting-point recommendations for your equipment. Select
the unit output closest to the number given by your flash
manufacturer. Then find the guide number for feet or metres.
To determine the lens opening, divide the guide number by
the flash-to-subject distance. If negatives are consistently too
dense (overexposed), use a higher guide number; if they are
too thin (underexposed), use a lower number.

Fluorescent and High-Intensity Discharge
Lamps
Use the color-compensating filters and exposure adjustments
in the tables below as starting points to expose
PORTRA Films under fluorescent or high-intensity discharge
lamps. For critical applications, make a series of test
exposures under your actual conditions.
To avoid the brightness and color variations that occur
during a single alternating-current cycle, use exposure
times of 160 second or longer with fluorescent lamps; with
high-intensity discharge lamps, use exposure times of
1125 second or longer.
*
CCT = Correlated Color Temperature. Phosphor emission emulates the color temperature of a continuous spectrum lamp, such as tungsten.

Adjustments for Long and Short Exposures
No filter correction or exposure compensation is required for PORTRA 160NC, 160VC, 400NC, PORTRA 400VC, or PORTRA
400UC Films for exposures from 110,000 second to 10 seconds. For PORTRA 800 Film, no adjustments are required for exposures
from 110,000 second to 1 second. For critical applications with longer exposure times, make tests under your conditions.
