grain high-speed color negative film. At true ISO 400
speed, this film delivers spectacular skin tones plus
exceptional color saturation over a wide range of lighting
conditions. PORTRA 400 Film is the ideal choice for
portrait and fashion photography, as well as for nature,

the lighting can’t be controlled.
Kodak’s Professional Portra 400
is a high-speed daylight-balanced color negative film offering a smooth and natural color palette that is balanced with vivid saturation and low contrast for accurate skin tones and consistent results. Utilizing the cinematic VISION Film technology, this film also exhibits a fine grain structure with very high sharpness and edge detail. A micro-structure optimized T-GRAIN emulsion makes it especially well-suited for scanning applications, and advanced development accelerators offer extended versatility when enlarging. This film has a nominal sensitivity of ISO 400/27° and is particularly well-suited to portrait and wedding photography, as well as nature, travel, and outdoor shooting with moving subjects, or when the lighting cannot be controlled.
STORAGE AND HANDLING
Store unexposed film at 21°C (70°F) or lower in the original
sealed package. For extended periods, store film at
13°C (55°F) to preserve consistency.
To avoid moisture condensation on film that has been
refrigerated, allow the film to warm up to room
temperature before opening the package.
DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS
Do not use a safelight. Handle unprocessed film in total
darkness.

Film Speed
Use the speed numbers in the tables below with cameras
or meters marked for ISO, ASA, or DIN speeds or exposure
