Profile notes
KIRO 400 is positioned by FilmNeverDie as an evolution of their IRO series, with the name KIRO derived from the Japanese word for 'yellow', reflecting the film's characteristic warm and slightly yellow color rendering. It is an ISO 400 C-41 processed 35mm color negative film available in 27 exposures. KIRO 400 is praised for subtle, soft colors rather than the high saturation of IRO 400, making it well-suited to portraiture and everyday life photography. It lacks DX coding, so most automatic point-and-shoot cameras will default to shooting it at ISO 100 or 200 unless the camera has a manual ISO override — photographers should account for this when exposing. Some available batches were slightly expired but still produced aesthetically interesting results with mild color shifts.
