@ Setting the Film Speed
   Each type of film - color or black & white -   has its own sensitivity to light. This sensitivity
     is assigned a numerical value described as an
  ASA rating (U.S.A. Standard) or a DIN rating
   (Europe and most other countries). In most
    cases, both ASA and DIN ratings are imprinted

@ Setting the Shutter Speed
   The shutter controls the length of time light  is
   allowed to strike the  f ilm. The speed at which
   the shutter opens and closes is measured  in
   fractions of a second that correspond to the
   numbers on the Shutter Speed Dial (10). For                             V
   example 1000 is 1/1000 second, 125 is 11125
   second, 2 is 112 second, and so on. The number
   "1" on the Dial represents one full second of
   exposure. When set to "B"  (Bulb) the shutter
