As usual I have confused myself about stops and using compensation...
I'm getting a hand me down Pentax P5 soon, and reading about it, it indicates there is no ISO setting feature and the camera only reads DX coded film cans.
If no DX code, then it defaults to 100 speed.
This is fairly common, but what I have confused myself about is the ability to use the compensation feature to "fool" the camera into shooting at a different ISO for my hand rolled films.
So, if I load a roll of 50 ISo film, can I just set the compensation at +1 to make up for it?
Does setting it at -2 mean it will shoot at 400?
Sorry for being a doofus, but lately that is my style.
Old dogs new tricks....unlikely here.
Thanks for all input.
