If you really *have* thge manual and can read, you can definitely load
film and put in batteries.

If you really *read* the manual, you'd know that those are the shutter
speeds.

Kingfishers are not only quicker than a hiccup, but also flighty and
quite shy. That's why it's a special treat when you can get a decent
photo of one like I did today. Had to out-wait the little bastard and
use 1120mm worth of glass, but I finally got the sucker after about an
hour's worth of stalking while crawling on my belly through mud and

You are seriously confused. Your film speeds go from 20 to 3200, not
your shutter speeds. 250 and 500 are shutter speeds and I'll bet you
have a lot more than that. Is this all actually a joke?

a floating point number.

I'm in violent agreement with all of that.
However, the original part of that discussion was about 15 year-olds

school. Few of those will be integrating 1/u du by then. A bit of a

Most college bound high school students in the US who don't get calculus in
high school will get a course called "Precalculus Mathematics" that hits
exponentials and logs pretty heavily. You need logs to handle any "Integral
of 1/u du" type problem so they're important in calculus even if you don't
