The film type pictured in the manual and designed to be used with the camera
is/was Kodachrome ASA 10. This is no longer being manufactured and the
closest thing is Kodachrome 25. I wouldn't use the same settings on the
camera with 25 as intended for 10. You may be able to get along alright with
these settings, but for Kodachrome 64 or higher, you'll have to experiment
for yourself. I would experiment anyway regardless of whether you use 25 or
64. The film indicator on the top of the camera is simply a reminder to you,
if you are using daylight or type A film. It does not change the settings, or
the way the pictures turn out. That depends on how well you expose the film.
Good luck-
