2. USING YOUR CAMERA
LOADING THE CAMERA
Almost all 35mm films that your camera uses will have a DX coding symbol on the
film box and on the film cassette itself. Information you will see includes:
A : Number of Exposures
B : DX Code symbol
C : Film Speed (
sensitivity to light or ISO rating
)
•If non-DX coded film is used, the camera’s automatic exposure system automatically sets itself to ISO
100.
•Always load and remove film from your camera away from direct sunlight.
