Film 7299
SMPTE RP131-2002, and KODAK Publications No. H-1,
KODAK Motion Picture Film available online at http://
The Book of Film Care.
KODAK VISION2 HD Color Scan Film 7299 is a
high-speed color negative motion picture film designed for
use with the KODAK VISION2 HD System. When
transferred to video via telecine and used in conjunction with
image processing available in the KODAK VISION2 HD
Digital Processor, 7299 Film can be automatically
manipulated to reproduce the tone and color characteristics
of other Kodak color negative films. 7299 Film, itself, has
been optimized specifically for scanning applications to
provide superior light capture and image rendition for
transfer to digital data.
When used correctly in the KODAK VISION2 HD
System, 7299 Film can be properly exposed at an exposure
index of either 500 for high-speed applications or 320 for
lower-speed applications. It can also be exposed properly in
either daylight or tungsten shooting conditions without the
use of corrective filters. Image processing used in the
KODAK VISION2 HD Digital Processor will automatically
compensate for these different exposure conditions to
produce properly balanced video images.
EXPOSURE INDEXES
High-Speed Application: Tungsten (3200 K) - 500
Lower-Speed Application: Tungsten (3200 K) - 320
Use these indexes with incident- or reflected-light
exposure meters and cameras marked for ISO or ASA speeds
or exposure indexes. These indexes apply for meter readings
of average subjects made from the camera position or for
readings made from a gray card of 18-percent reflectance
held close to and in front of the subject. For unusually light-
or dark-colored subjects, decrease or increase the exposure
indicated by the meter accordingly.
KODAK VISION2 HD Color Scan Film 7299 has been
designed for optimum performance at an exposure index of
both 500 and 320. EI500 can be chosen in low-light
situations where speed is required with no degradation in
image quality, shadow detail, or black level. EI320 can be
chosen if light is sufficient or if improved shadow rendition
is desired. When properly used with the KODAK VISION2
HD Digital Processor, 7299 Film is also capable of being
shot without correction in either tungsten or daylight
sources. It should be noted, however, that the designed color
balance of the film is 3200 K tungsten, and a KODAK
WRATTEN Filter No. 85 can be used to balance daylight
exposures on the camera if desired (though the exposure
index must be adjusted by 2⁄3 stops accordingly).
BASE
KODAK VISION2 HD Color Scan Film 7299 has an acetate
safety base with rem-jet backing.
DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS
Do not use a safelight. Handle unprocessed film in total
darkness.
STORAGE
Store unexposed film at 13°C (55°F) or lower. For extended
storage, store at -18°C (0°F) or lower. Process exposed film
promptly. Store processed film according to the
COLOR BALANCE
When correctly used in the KODAK VISION2 HD System
with the KODAK VISION2 HD Digital Processor, this film
can be properly exposed in either tungsten (3200 K) or
daylight (5500 K) sources. Natively, however, the film is
balanced for exposure with tungsten illumination (3200 K)
and filtration can be used for other illuminant sources if
desired. For tungsten shooting, you can also expose this film
with lamps that have slightly higher or lower color
temperatures (+/- 150 K) without correction filters, since
final color balancing can be done in telecine transfer. For
other light sources, use the correction filters in the table
below. Separate tables are listed for shooting 7299 Film at a
nominal speed of EI500 and EI320.
recommendations in ANSI/PIMA IT9.11-1998: for
medium-term storage (minimum of ten years), store at
10°C (50°F) or lower at a relative humidity of 20 to 30
percent; for extended-term storage (for preservation of
material having permanent value), store at 2°C (35°F) or
lower at a relative humidity of 20 to 30 percent. For active
use, store at 25°C (77°F) or lower, at a relative humidity of
50 +/- 5 percent. This relates to optimized film handling
rather than preservation; static, dust-attraction and
curl-related problems are generally minimized at the higher
relative humidity. After usage, the film should be returned to
the appropriate medium- or long-term storage conditions as
soon as possible.
For more information about medium- and long-term
storage, see ANSI/PIMA IT9.11-1998,

FILM-TO-VIDEO TRANSFERS
At 24 frames per second (fps), 170-degree shutter opening:
KODAK VISION2 HD Color Scan Film 7299 is intended
exclusively for telecine transfer using the KODAK VISION2
HD Digital Processor. With the telecine set to the nominal
starting conditions as recommended for the KODAK
VISION2 HD System, color and tone characteristics can be
automatically set to match the baseline technical starting
point of any other Kodak color negative film. Once set to this
starting condition, normal color correction can be applied as
with any other typical motion picture negative film.
For more information on the KODAK VISION2 HD
System, please refer to the KODAK VISION2 HD Digital
Processor User Guide, Part No. 4F2310.

The modulation-transfer and diffuse rms granularity curves
were generated from samples of 7299 Film exposed with
tungsten light and processed as recommended in Process
ECN-2 chemicals. For more information on image-structure
characteristics, see KODAK Publication No. H-1, KODAK
Motion Picture Film available online at http://
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.
RECIPROCITY CHARACTERISTICS
MTF
You do not need to make any filter corrections or exposure
adjustments for exposure times from 1/1000 to 1 second. If
your exposure is in the 10 second range, it is recommended
that you increase your exposure by1 stop and use a KODAK
Color Compensating Filter CC 10R.
The "perceived" sharpness of any film depends on various
components of the motion picture production system. The
camera and projector lenses and film printers, among other
factors, all play a role. But the specific sharpness of a film
can be measured and charted in the Modulation Transfer
Curve.
PROCESSING
Process in Process ECN-2.
rms Granularity:
Refer to curve.
Read with a microdensitometer, (red, green, blue) using a
48-micrometer aperture.
The "perception" of the graininess of any film is highly
dependent on scene content, complexity, color, and density.
Other factors, such as film age, processing, exposure
conditions, and telecine transfer may also have significant
effects.
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://
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
EASTMAN ECN-2 Kit Chemicals, check Kodak's Motion
Picture Films for Professional Use price catalog.
IDENTIFICATION
After processing, the product code numbers 7299 (16 mm),
emulsion, roll, and strip number identification, KEYKODE
Numbers, and manufacturer/film identification code (EI) are
visible along the length of the film.

To find the rms Granularity value for a given density, find
the density on the left vertical scale and follow horizontally
to the characteristic curve and then go vertically (up or
down) to the granularity curve. At that point, follow
horizontally to the Granularity Sigma D scale on the right.
Read the number and multiply by 1000 for the rms value.
The curves describe this film's response to red, green, and
blue light. Sensitometric curves determine the change in
density on the film for a given change in log exposure.1

SPATIAL FREQUENCY (cycles/mm)
This graph shows a measure of the visual sharpness of this
film. The x-axis, "Spatial Frequency," refers to the number
of sine waves per millimeter that can be resolved. The y-axis,
"Response," corresponds to film sharpness. The longer and
flatter the line, the more sine waves per millimeter that can
be resolved with a high degree of sharpness—and, the
sharper the film.
1.NOTE: Sensitometric and Diffuse RMS Granularity
curves are produced on different equipment. A slight
variation in curve shape may be noticed.
