The film sensitivity value is marked on the dial.
The numerical values are displayed in red color.

In this article, we introduced the film sensitivity dial on Canon’s 1964 release manual focus SLR camera.
This Canon FX has a dial that doubles as a shutter speed dial.
Since shutter speed and film sensitivity are very closely related, the dual-use dial is very easy to use.
