COLOR BALANCE
These films are balanced for exposure with daylight
illumination (5500 K). For other light sources, use the
correction filters in the table below.
1
These are approximate corrections only. Make final corrections during
printing.
2
These are starting-point recommendations for trial exposures. If the kind
of lamp is unknown, a KODAK Color Compensating Filter
CC20M + CC10B can be used with an exposure index (EI) of 125.
Note: Consult the manufacturer of high-intensity ultraviolet
lamps for safety information on ultraviolet radiation and
ozone generation.
EXPOSURE TABLE - DAYLIGHT
ILLUMINATION
At 24 frames per second (fps), 170-degree shutter opening:
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 to 1/10 second.
If your exposure is in the 1-second range, it is recommended
that you increase your exposure

stop and use a KODAK
Color Compensating Filter CC10R. If your exposure is in the
10 second range, it is recommended that you increase your
exposure by a stop and use a KODAK Color Compensating
Filter CC10R.
PROCESSING
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 price catalog.
IDENTIFICATION
After processing, the product code numbers 5205 (35 mm
and 65 mm) or 7205 (16 mm), emulsion and roll number
identification, KEYKODE numbers, and internal product
symbol (EQ) 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.
1
The LAD Control
Film provides both objective sensitometric control and
subjective verification of the duplicating procedures use by
the laboratory.
In the LAD Control Method,
2
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.
1.Direct any inquiries to one of the regional sales offices.
2.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.
