Apparently you are using a camera that simply won't WORK without seeing
a DX code.... I have an N60 that I used to use for IR that is that way.
It won't even recognize that there's even film IN the thing....
I bought mine from a place called Colonial Photo here in Orlando, but
all they had were ASA200  if I remember right. You have to compensate
the exposure to get it down or up to whatever ASA you want to shoot at.

Their phone number is (407) 841-1485, but I'm not sure if they'll do
mail orders. Maybe....  good luck with it.
