4. EXPOSURE GUIDE AND EXPOSURE
UNDER VARIOUS LIGHT CONDITIONS

Use an exposure meter for exposure determination.
If a meter is not available, refer to the following table.

¥ The foregoing settings are for 2 hours after sunrise and 2

hours before sunset.

¥ Provide lens openings 1/2 stop smaller during the summer

and 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.

Even when exposed under morning or evening twilight
conditions or when color temperatures are low, no
special filter use is needed because color balancing
will be done during printing.

Electronic Flash

¥ Electronic flash produces light similar to daylight,

so filters are not needed. However, the possibility
of undesirable effects on color balance, due to
various factors (differences in equipment, amount
of use, etc.) should be taken into consideration
and test exposure made.

¥ If shutter speeds slower than 1/60 second are

used, light from non-flash sources, such as room
lighting, may cause color imbalances. Make test
exposures.

¥ The use of a flash meter is advisable, but the fol-

lowing formula can also be used to obtain satisfac­tory lens opening.

¥ Set the film speed at ISO 100. Since the amount

of light reflected onto subjects from surrounding
surfaces will differ with the conditions, refer to the
flash unit instructions.

Daylight Photoflood/Photo-Reflector Lamps

¥ Daylight-type photoflood or photo-reflector lamp

output tends to be lower than that indicated by an
exposure meter, so it is advisable to compensate
for this by increasing exposure time or the lens
opening. Whenever possible, test exposures are
recommended.

¥ Other factors requiring consideration when deter-

mining the exposure time, are lamp configuration,
use duration and line voltage, as they may affect
lamp output and color balance.

Fluorescent Lamps & High-Intensity Discharge
Lamps

¥ For best results, the following combinations of

color compensating filters are recommended.
However, for exacting work, test exposures are
advisable.

¥ When the fluorescent lamp characteristics are un-

known, to obtain generally acceptable results, use
a 30M compensating filter and open the lens one
stop (+1).

NOTE Different compensation may be required according

to special lamp types and length of use, so test
exposures are recommended, whenever possible.

¥ Shutter speeds of 1/125 second for high-intensity

discharge lamps and 1/30 second or larger, for
fluorescent lamps, will avoid AC power-induced
changes in brightness and color being recorded on
the film.

Tungsten Lamps

Fuji Light Balancing Filter LBB-12 (or Kodak No. 80A) is

recommended along with a 2 lens stop increase, when
using 3200 K tungsten lighting.

5. LIGHTING EQUIPMENT

The conditions of umbrellas, reflectors, diffusers and
like devices, may influence photographic light quality.
Periodically check lighting equipment for deterioration.

6. LONG EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

No exposure or color balance compensation is required
for exposures within a 1/4000 to 2 second shutter
speed range. However, for exposures of 4 seconds or
longer, provide the compensations indicated below.

Except for special effects, the normal intensity ratio for
main-to-fill subject lighting should remain within 1:4
limits.

7. FILM HANDLING

¥ Expose film before the expiration date indicated on

the film package and process promptly after expo­sure.

¥ When loading and unloading roll film, avoid direct

sunlight. If there is no shade, turning one's back
toward the sun will shade the film.

¥ Camera-loaded film should be exposed and pro-

cessed immediately.

¥ X-ray equipment, used to inspect carry-on baggage

at airport terminals, can cause film fogging. Re­peated inspections increase this possibility, so
both exposed and unexposed films should be re­moved for manual inspection.

¥ Film fogging may occur near X-ray equipment used

in hospitals, factories, laboratories and other loca­tions. Always keep film away from possible
sources of radiation.

8. FILM STORAGE

Unprocessed Film

¥ Storing exposed or unexposed film under high

temperature and humidity conditions will cause
adverse speed, color balance and physical prop­erty changes. Store film under the following con­ditions.



¼ Ordinary Storage: Protect from heat.



¼ Long-term Storage: Below 0°C (32°F)
