FUJICHROME Velvia 50 Professional [RVP50] • FUJIFILM PRODUCT INFORMATION BULLETIN

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 inten-
sity and color temperature.

 

•  Expose film before the expiration date indicated on 

the film package and process as soon as possible 
after exposure.

•  Roll film should be loaded and unloaded quickly and 

away from direct sunlight.

•  Film loaded in cameras should be exposed and pro-

cessed 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 plas-
tic 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) inspec-
tion 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.

Storing exposed or unexposed film under hot and hu-
mid 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: 

Store at 59ºF(15ºC) or below (Refrigerator)

Store at 32ºF(0ºC) or below (Freezer)

•  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 
film) or over 6 hours (for frozen film).  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.

   * Polyester, polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.

This film is designed for processing by Process E-6, 
Fujifilm Process CR-56, or Fuji Hunt’s PR06, etc.

Since the purpose of film is to provide a long-term re-
cord 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, humid-
ity and mold cannot be completely avoided. It is pos-
sible, however, to minimize change in the photographic 
image or base material by maintaining appropriate stor-
age conditions, such as those used by museums and 
art galleries. Temperature and humidity control is the 
most important key to minimizing the change that oc-
curs in film. Processed film stored in the dark under the 
following conditions may be expected to show almost 
no change over time.

More than 20 years

Below 50ºF(10ºC)

30% – 50% 

10 – 20 years

Below 77ºF(25ºC)

30% – 50%

(1) Color reversal film should be mounted inserted into 

sleeves* for storage.

 

* 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 condi-
tions are not desirable for the storage of film and 
should be avoided in the case of long-term storage:

• Storage in a closet lying against a wall that is ex-

posed to cold, outside air (where condensation 
may form).

• Storage in an attic or on top of a closet or cabi-

net near the ceiling (where high temperatures 
may occur).
