Re: DX-Coded Labels

Robert,

It is possible to roll your own, so to speak, but of course first you 
will have to find a key to the codes, which can be found on the internet.

Scratch away the black paint where you want to make contact, and put a 
small piece of tape over any silver squares that you want to "turn off".

A word of caution though:  a given camera will not necessarily support 
all the possible DX codes.  Look in the camera manual to see which ones 
it will support.  One of my cameras, for example, will not recognize any 
film speeds between 200 and 400, forcing me to shoot Tri X at 200 if I 
want to reduce it from 400.
