Fujifilm has developed a technology that precisely controls the light-sensitive structure of the silver-halide grain to nanoscale, resulting in extremely fine grain. Photons generated by exposure to light are concentrated in the photosensitive nucleus via electron accumulators. The grain is designed with a precise electron accumulator structure that efficiently concentrates photons to form the latent image. The grain configuration is precisely engineered to a thickness that minimizes reflections, effectively limiting light scatter and boosting sharpness.

Existing DIR Couplers, which control the image formation process by releasing development inhibitors during development, produce improved definition and color reproduction. Now, a DIR coupler has been developed to work effectively with the Super Nano-structured Σ Grain, resulting in further enhancements in color and sharpness.

A yellow coupler has been developed for enhanced color formation effect during processing. This highly efficient color formation makes it possible to create a thinner layer of emulsion, minimizing dispersion of light and creating crisp, clear images with little distortion.
