These indexes apply for 5285/7285 Film has exceptional sharpness that is meter readings of average subjects made from the camera unsurpassed by any other 100-speed reversal film, and its position or for readings made from a gray card of grain performance is excellent.

With the daylight balanced 100D Film, it will be necessary to disengage this filter. Although it may sound counter-intuitive, this is accomplished by setting the manual exposure setting to the tungsten setting (the bulb icon), no matter what conditions you are shooting under. If you will be using 100D Film under tungsten illumination, we recommend the use of an 80A external filter. Consult the camera manufacturer's manual for specific information on your camera's operation. 2 KODAK EKTACHROME 100D Color Reversal Film 5285 / 7285 • H-1-5285 FILM-TO-TAPE TRANSFERS CURVES When you transfer the film directly to video, you can set up Characteristic Curves the telecine using the KODAK EKTACHROME Telecine Analysis Film (TAF) 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 4.0 B Exposure: Daylight, 1/100 second (colorist) with an effective way to adjust subcarrier G Process: E-6 balance and to center the telecine controls before timing R 3.0 Densitometry: Status A 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. 2.0 Using the TAF will help obtain optimum quality and consistency in the film-to-video transfer.

F002_1043AC MTF curve - This graph shows a measure of the visual sharpness of the film. The x-axis, "Spatial Frequency", refers to the number of sine waves per millimetre that can be resolved. The y-axis, "Response", corresponds to film sharpness. The longer and flatter the line, the more the film can resolve, and therefore, the sharper the film.
