I have some unbranded Fnac APS films rated at ISO400, but pics are best exposed after ISO100. Is there a way to hide the DX reading from the camera, setting ISO to 100?  Front side of film.  Back side.  Left ISO400 film, right Fuji ISO100 film. Is this the ISO readout? Could it be covered with some black tape? |

Some time ago I found a web site that had downloadable bar codes that you could glue on to the film canister to fool the camera into thinking the ISO or whatever was different.
I'll see if I have it stored in my favorites.

Truls, most cameras that use DX coding have an automatic default setting when one uses a film with no DX barcode. Usually, this default is ISO 100. If you have the manual for the camera you wish to use, somewhere in there should be that specification. If it is indeed ISO 100, one would only have to render the barcode unreadable (ie cover it with black tape) and the camera would default to ISO 100. This has worked for all of the DX coded cameras I've tried. Of course, this by no means is a guarantee!  Check your manual  Roy |
