ISO selection on IVSB2

[meezy]

Forgive me if this is a noob question...

If there is no meter on this camera, why do I have to select a film speed? Is it only important if I'm gonna be using a flash with it?

I'm shooting a 400 speed test roll with an IVSB2 I just bought. My ISO is set to "EMPTY". Does it matter as long as I'm following what my external meter tells me?

Thanks,

The film speed dial is just a reminder so you know what film speed your in camera film is, no different than taping a piece of masking tape on the camera body and writing the ISO number with a Sharpie on the tape.

Oh great. Thanks very much. I didn't think I had to. I appreciate you answering.
