Asahi Pentax ES Operating Manual Excerpts

SETTING ASA FILM SPEED

The ASA film speed is given in the data sheet packed with each roll of film. The higher the ASA number, the more sensitive the film.

Lift the outer ring of the exposure factor control dial, and turn it until the same number as the ASA number of the loaded film appears in the ASA speed indicator window.

FILM TYPE REMINDER DIAL

Use this dial as a reminder of the type of film loaded. To set the dial, pull out the rewind knob softly, and move the selector to the * for daylight type color film, * for tungsten type color film, * for black-and-white and EMP. when film is not loaded.
