If I understand correctly, the Minox 35 GTE/X/S can be used as a complete manual camera especially when using 100 ISO film by installing a flash and not using it, but only a shutter speed of 1/125 second. Any other way to manually tweak out the other shutter speed with the DX equiped models?

Response to Minox 35

In many deluxe 35mm compact cameras, there is only DX coding, no provision for manual. There is +- change on my Contax T2, but I seldom use it. In my Canon Elph 370z, it is drop in and go. If you really want to change the DX code, I heard that you can buy DX code sticker and stick it to the cassette to change it to another ASA number. BTW, Minox 35 camera has a 2x switch for back light situation.
