If I'm not wrong the F60/N60 has no possibility to use non-dx-coded film at all. I think there's no way to set any ISO rate manually! Should I be wrong, correct me. Actually I would love to be corrected, so finally I could advice my girlfriend to trade her Canon for the F60. I know doing your trick was possible on the F50, I don't think it will work on the F60 any longer.
