Whether you are capturing spontaneous moments, traveling, or photographing moving subjects, the Kodak UltraMax 400 film ensures dependable results with enhanced flexibility for various environments.

Advantages

This film offers distinct benefits for photographers seeking both quality and adaptability. The higher ISO speed provides improved low-light performance and allows for faster shutter speeds, which is essential for freezing action and minimizing the effects of camera shake. Additionally, it helps extend the usable flash range, ensuring subjects are well-lit even when distance is a factor. The combination of fine grain and vivid saturation results in sharp, vibrant images with natural skin tones and consistent color accuracy.

Suitable for

• Everyday casual and spontaneous photography
• Travel and outdoor sightseeing
• Action shots and moving subjects
• Low-light environments and evening street scenes
• Situations requiring extended flash range

When it may not be suitable

This film may not be the ideal choice for highly specialized professional studio setups that require extremely fine-grained films for massive enlargements or strictly controlled lighting. Additionally, because it is a daylight-balanced color negative film, achieving precise color neutrality under tungsten or fluorescent indoor lighting without filters may require color correction during printing or scanning.

Key specifications

• Film format: 35 mm
• Number of exposures: 36
• Film speed: ISO 400

How to use

To use this film, load the 35 mm roll into any compatible 35 mm film camera, ensuring the ISO setting on your camera or light meter is correctly adjusted to 400. Advance the film to the first frame and begin shooting according to your lighting conditions. Utilize the ISO 400 sensitivity to your advantage when shooting in dim light or when you need faster shutter speeds to capture motion. Once all 36 exposures are completed, rewind the film carefully back into the cartridge and have it processed using standard C-41 color negative chemical development.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you own or have access to a 35 mm film camera
• Confirm that local or mail-in processing services support standard C-41 color negative development
• Consider your primary lighting environments to ensure a daylight-balanced ISO 400 film fits your photographic style

Usage recommendations

Store unexposed film in a cool, dry place, ideally in a refrigerator, and protect it from excessive heat and humidity. Allow refrigerated film to warm up to room temperature before opening the packaging and loading it into your camera. For the best results, have the exposed film processed promptly after shooting.
