COLOR NEGATIVE FILM
KODAK ULTRA MAX 400 Film
KODAK ULTRA MAX 400 Film is a worry-free, easy-to-use
high speed film designed for snapshooters. ULTRA MAX
400 Film gives you the flexibility you need to take
consistently better pictures in more picture taking
situations—better low-light picture quality with fewer
underexposures, better results with zoom lenses, greater
flash range, better "stop-action" photos, and reduced
impact of camera shake.
Even when enlarged, ULTRA MAX 400 Film delivers
excellent sharpness and fine grain for crisp, clear pictures.
Optimized color precision technology provides
consistently bright, vibrant colors with accurate skin-tone
reproduction for natural-looking people pictures.
ULTRA MAX 400 Film is designed for processing in
KODAK FLEXICOLOR Chemicals for Process C-41. It is
printing compatible with KODAK GOLD Films.
STORAGE AND HANDLING
Load and unload your camera in subdued light.
Store unexposed film at 21° C (70° F) or lower in the
original sealed package. Always store film (exposed or
unexposed) in a cool, dry place. Process film as soon as
possible after exposure.
Protect negatives from strong light, and store them in a
cool, dry place. For more information on storing negatives,
see KODAK Publication No. E-30, Storage and Care of
KODAK Photographic Materials—Before and After
Processing.
DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS
Do not use a safelight. Handle unprocessed film in total
darkness.
