multiple exposures are for a reversal film with an aver-
age emulsion when processed under standard pro-
cessing conditions. Therefore, use the data only as a
guide. For exacting work, test exposures are recom-
mended under actual shooting conditions.
Long-term
Storage
Store at 10°C (50°F) or below
• New building materials, newly manufactured furni-
ture, paints and bonding agents may produce gases
which could affect photographic film. Do not store
film, lightproof boxes containing film or cameras or
film holders loaded with film near these materials.
• Film should be sealed in plastic bags* prior to cold
storage. When taken out of cold storage, film should
be allowed to reach room temperature before open-
ing by letting it stand over 3 hours (for refrigerated

EXPOSURE PRECAUTIONS
• With artificial light, such as electronic flash, photoflood,
fluorescent, tungsten, high intensity discharge lamp
(metal halide, sodium, mercury vapor), etc., the lamp
output and color temperature may be affected by
such factors as brand, age of equipment and line
voltage. Reflectors and diffusers can also influence
light intensity and color temperature.
• When using an accessory such as a reflector um-
brella, reflector or diffuser to control light intensity
or diffuse the light, the color of the light may be
altered by changes that have occurred in the color
or composition of the accessory’s materials or
reflective surface.

PROCESSING
This film is designed for processing by Process E-6 or
its equivalent, as well as Fujifilm Process CR-56.

HANDLING
10. PROCESSED FILM HANDLING / STORAGE
Since the purpose of film is to provide a long-term
record of memorable events, as much effort as possible
has been made to use materials that exhibit the least
amount of change over time, but the effects of light,
heat, atmospheric oxygen, contaminant gases, humidity
and mold cannot be completely avoided. It is possible,
however, to minimize change in the photographic
image or base material by maintaining appropriate
storage conditions, such as those used by museums
and art galleries. Temperature and humidity control is
the most important key to minimizing the change that
occurs in film. Processed film stored in the dark un-
der the following conditions may be expected to show
almost no change over time.
• Expose film before the expiration date indicated on
the film package and process as soon as possible
after exposure.
• When removing film stored at low temperatures (in a
refrigerator or freezer, etc.), allow it to reach room
temperature before opening it. Opening film while it
is still cold may cause condensation to form on the
film surface, causing color changes or the emulsion
to become more susceptible to scratches.
• Roll film should be loaded and unloaded quickly and
away from direct sunlight.
• Film loaded in cameras should be exposed and
processed promptly.
• Sheet film must be handled in total darkness and with
care so as not to touch the emulsion surface.
• X-rays inspection machines used to inspect checked-
in baggage at airports can cause fogging of film. Put
both exposed and unexposed film into carry-on
baggage (preferably in a transparent plastic bag or
a net bag that allows the film to be seen). Because of
the increasing number of airports using strong X-ray
machines for carry-on baggage, it is recommended
that you remove film from your carry-on baggage and
request a visual (manual) inspection of your film.
• Film fogging may occur near X-ray equipment used
in hospitals, factories, laboratories and other places
where radiation is used. Always keep film away from
sources of radiation.

* Polyester, polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.
(2) Processed film should be stored at a place as far
away as possible from high temperatures, direct
sunlight and other strong light. The following con-
ditions are not desirable for the storage of film
and should be avoided in the case of long-term
storage:
STORAGE
• Storage in a closet lying against a wall that is
exposed to cold, outside air (where condensation
may form).
• Storage in an attic or on top of a closet or cabinet
near the ceiling (where high temperatures may
occur).
Storing exposed or unexposed film under hot and
humid conditions may adversely affect the speed, color
balance and physical properties of the film. Although it
is best to store film at a low temperature, for practical
purposes, film should be stored as follows:

LIGHT SOURCES FOR VIEWING
13.
RETOUCHING AND BLEACHING
Use a standard transparency viewer. Visual responses
will differ with light source quality and brightness.
Therefore, employ a viewer which meets the ISO/ANSI
Changes in density and color balance can be made
by using readily available retouching dyes. In regard
to bleaching, this film is as resistant to color dye fading
as Velvia 100F, as a result of its improved color image
stability (anti-fading characteristics).
standard.*
* The ISO standard (ISO 3664:2000) specifies an illuminated
viewer surface with a color temperature derived from a CIE
illuminant D50 (D:Daylight) with a reciprocal color temperature
of 5000K, an average brightness of 1270cd/m2 ± 320cd/m2, a
brightness uniformity of more than 75%, a light diffusion level
of more than 90% and an average color rendition assessment
value of more than Ra90. Transparency viewers should meet
these standards.

17. TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED
IN Velvia 100
17-1 PSHC (Pure, Stable & High-performance
dye-forming Coupler) Technology
17-2 CEL (Color-Extension Layer) Technology
The Multi-layer Color Correction Layer that enabled
faithful color hue reproduction in Velvia 100F has been
adjusted and applied in Velvia 100 as a color-extension
layer. This layer, together with new-generation couplers
and adjusted gradation and spectral sensitivity, gives
Velvia 100 the ability to record the colors of sunrises,
sunsets, natural greenery and other scenes with a vi-
brancy beyond that normally perceived by the human
eye.
The new-generation couplers used in Velvia 100 provide
it with high color purity, stability and color formation
efficiency, making possible color reproduction with un-
precedented fidelity and excellent image stability.
This vividness forms the basis for Velvia 100’s ability
to reproduce colors with ultra-high saturation.
a) X-Coupler Technology:
This marks the recent use in color reversal film of
Fujifilm’s new proprietary cyan coupler.
17-3 MSSC (Multi-Structured Sigma Crystal)
Technology
b) V-Coupler Technology:
New technologies have been incorporated with the
V-coupler applied in Velvia 100F.
c) S-Coupler Technology:
This technology is incorporated in Velvia 100 to im-
prove upon the highly acclaimed ultrafine grain emul-
sion technology used in PROVIA 100F, resulting in a
greater enhancement in grain quality. With this technol-
ogy as a basis, Velvia 100 continues to provide ultra-
high color saturation along with super-fine grain quality
(RMS=8) and high sensitivity (ISO 100) that exceed
the levels of the current ISO 50 Velvia.
In place of the yellow coupler used in FUJICHROME
films providing these films with Fujifilm’s trademark
color reproduction and stability, a new-generation
yellow coupler has been incorporated to further boost
these characteristics to even higher levels.
Compared with existing FUJICHROME films, the X,
V and S couplers have resulted in a drastic reduc-
tion in auxiliary absorptive components (which cause
muddiness) and provide high color stability.
