KODAK GOLD 100 and 200 Films 

• E-7022

Use the appropriate guide numbers in the table below as a 
starting point for your equipment.  Select the unit output 
closest to the number given by your flash manufacturer.  
Then find the guide number for feet or meters. 

 To determine the lens opening, divide the guide number 

by the flash-to-subject distance.  If negatives are too dark 
(overexposed), use a higher guide number; if they are too 
light (underexposed), use a lower number.

 BCPS = beam candlepower seconds

For best results without special printing, use the 
color-correction filters in the table below as starting points 
when you expose this film under fluorescent and 
high-intensity discharge lamps.  Use exposure times of 
1/60 second or longer to avoid the brightness and color 
variations that occur during a single alternating-current 
cycle.

Actual filtration may vary between lamps and lamp 

manufacturers.  Depending on the specific source, 
additional filtration or special printing may be required to 
achieve best results.

Note: When you don’t know the type of fluorescent lamps, 
try a 10C + 20M filter combination and increase exposure 
by 2/3 stop; color rendition may be less than optimum.

You do not need to make any exposure or filter adjustments 
for exposure times of 1/10,000 second to 1 second.  For 
critial applications with longer exposure times, make tests 
under your conditions.

Use KODAK FLEXICOLOR Chemicals for Process C-41.  For 
more information, see KODAK Publication No. Z-131,  Using 
KODAK FLEXICOLOR Chemicals.

You can check the exposure level of the color negative with 
a suitable electronic densitometer equipped with a filter 
such as the red filter for Status M Densitometry or a 
KODAK WRATTEN Gelatin Filter No. 92. Depending on the 
subject and the light source used for exposure, a normally 
exposed and processed color negative measured through 
the red filter should have the approximate densities listed 
below. These densities apply for the recommended light 
sources and correct processing of the negative.
