  QUESTIONS and ANSWERS.    
 
Is it possible to use slide film ?
Yes, it is possible, with exception of the shooting of objects at a distance of less than 0.6m in close up mode. It is recommended, however, to use 35 mm film with DX code and the sensitivity of ISO 25, 50,100, 200, 400, 800 or 1600.

What is the sensitivity of film (number ISO)?
ISO indicates the numerical value of the sensitivity of film to light. That is the higher the number, the more sensitive the film is to the light. The use of a film with the sensitivity of ISO 400 is recommended for normal photography.

Is it possible to use a film without a DX code?
Yes, it is possible. However, when a film without DX code is loaded into the camera, it is established the sensitivity of film ISO 25. After the charging of film with sensitivity ISO 25 or film without DX code shut rear cover and press on the shutter button one or two times?? ( does anybody know what this is meant to say? email me so I can fix it )


CAPTION


The Date, imprinted in my photographs, is almost imperceptible!!??
Too bright a background of that part of the photograph where date is printed can be reason. Try to arrange your photograph so, in that part,where date will be imprinted, a dark object is. Also avoid yellow and white objects there.
