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.
