cartridge film. Each film has an ISO
film-speed number (incorporating
ASA and DIN numbers) which
indicates the film 's sensitivity to
light . The first part of the ISO
number (equivalent to ASA numbed
is marked on the camera's film -
speed
ring .
For proper exposure, the cam-
era's
film -speed ring must be set to
the correct film speed.

surrounded by a handy memo
holder where you can insert the
