Profile notes
Fujifilm Venus 400 was a Japan-only consumer color negative film, part of Fujifilm's Venus consumer branding used for domestic Japanese market distribution. The Venus line was positioned as an accessible consumer emulsion at ISO 400, distinct from the Superia line in branding but sharing similar emulsion characteristics — warm, vibrant color with moderate grain. Venus 400 was sold through mass-market retail in Japan and is now discontinued, having been superseded by Superia variants and Fujifilm's other domestic consumer offerings. The Venus 800 variant (sold separately) served the higher-speed tier of the same domestic consumer branding. Both Venus 400 and Venus 800 should not be confused with the professional Fuji Pro 400H, which used a completely different emulsion.
