Pentax K1000 User Manual

SETTING ASA/ISO FILM SPEED
The ASA/ISO film speed rating of all 35mm films
is given in the data sheet packed with each roll of
film. The higher the ASA / ISO number , the more
sensitive the film is to light. Lift the outer ring
of the shutter speed dial and rotate it until the
ASA / ISO number of your film is opposite the
orange dot alongside the figure 1.
Be sure to set your film speed on the shutter
speed dial because the dial is connected to the
exposure meter .
