I shot a roll of Adox Color Mission in this little camera today, and after I took the roll out, I noticed the roll didn't have DX coding on it. What is the default ISO setting on the 180U? I see it differs depending on which Sureshot you're refering to. I did check the manual, but didnt see any info on this. What ISO was I shooting at today?

And please no comments on me using such a camera. Its compact enough to fit into my bag with other cameras, and doesnt weigh much. Sometimes you just need a really small camera that does everything for you.
 
User manual available from Canon website clearly states that it defaults at ISO25, so OP is right.
 
I have a Canon Sure Shot 80u which seems to expose at ISO100 with non-DX film.

How do you like your Sure Shot? I like the camera, in general, but most all the images come out blurry from camera shake. Even with the flash, it uses such a slow shutter speed (which speed, I don't know) that everything is blurry. Maybe I should try it again, paying attention to the slow shutter speed light.
 
I couldn't find that info in the manual. Missed it somehow. So its 25 ISO? That would mean I over exposed my Color Mission roll by 3 stops. Hope it turns out.

This was the first time I used this camera. I was using a 130u before that, but it's Tele end focus was off. So I stopped using it. I usually shoot with these cameras outdoors, so shots are usually ok.

I don't see that in the Sure Shot 80u manual. However, if it is correct for my camera also, it means I was exposing HP5 in a non-DX cassette with the -1.5 mode engaged. So, instead of an Exposure Index between 250 and 320, it was exposing with an exposure index between 64 and 80.

No wonder most of the images showed motion blur. May have to try the camera again with a DX cassette.

I have that camera i think.
It has a zoom lens.?
I shot a few hundred photos with it and never had a problem.
It still works. I bought it in about 1993.?
