Thanks, guys I went and took matters into my own hands and actually came up with the conclusion you guys offered. I ended up opening the gate aiming the lens towards some light and figured out that the switch was set to daylight so the filter is in place. I also figured out the whole notching the cartridge thing. I went to NY last week and bought a Vision 200T color negative stock for a test roll because they didn't have 100D. Yet Im scared that the ASA is too fast for the Elmo but thats all they had. The film that came in the camera was old and it was also black and white. Lastly thanks for the manual! I'm planning on shooting a short so I need to get this film developed hopefully the camera is working lol, it seems like it does but I wont really know until the transfer.

Hello, Yesterday I received my Elmo in the mail, but the filter selection knob (switch) is missing from the camera, which I was notified of. This led me to believe that the internal filter was removed but when pressing the notch switch inside the cartridge compartment I heard the filter moving. Is there anyway to tell which fuction is selected before getting my film processed?? Going off my clues I believe tungsten is selected due to the filter that came on the camera. It's not an 85 filter and the camera itself is in mint condition besides this switch missing and there are no marks that suggest it was broken off. So to conclude my Sherlock Homles investagation I would be led to believe and hope that tungsten is selected and that the switch was removed on purpose. With that said I am very confused trying to shoot a test roll. My second question is if the switch its set to daylight then what could I do other then paying extra to get the interior filter removed competely?
