Setting the film speed
Set the speed
of
the
film you are using on the
film
speed scale in the camera base. Depress the milled
button and turn
it
to
bring the ASA
or
DIN
speed ra-
ting
of
the film opposite the arrow index on the win-
dow
rims. (Every Minox film packing carries both
ASA and
DIN
values.)
To save space the scale carries figures
for
every
third step
only
; intermediate steps are marked
by
dots
(e.g.
64
and 80 ASA between
50
and 100 ASA).
