Hi all,
Simple question... Can I manually enter an ISO speed rather than rely on DX coding on the Classica? I have had some luck shooting Portra 400 at 800 and would like to try 1600 and 3200, but can't if DX coding is the only option. If exposure compensation remained between turning off/on, that would do too.
Anyone know?
Cheers
Garry

You can't manually override the iso on the classica. But you can set exposure compensation, though I believe it has to be set everytime you turn the camera on and off.

Thanks Neare, it's what I feared, I'll have to target my GAS elsewhere.

I remember years ago, that there was a product to slip onto a DX cartridge to change it's ISO, they had a range of 100 to 1600,
you'd just stick it on top of the cassette's own DX code and presto!

Yeah I got bulk cassettes with DX codes on them, and apparently you can also use conductive tape and a sharpie to "re-code" your roll of film.
