need answers about a new camera

[bmiles]

what up. i just bought my first film camera, so i'm new to using anything other than dv. i bought a belle howell super 8 zoom 1201. yea, its a long name. i havent found much info about this camera on the internet and i was hoping if someone on here might be able to help me. right below the lense there is a square with a peice of class covering a hole that has what seems to be some kind of orange light? also what type of film can i use for this camera, it has no sound capabilities and i didnt know if it needed a certain speed, thats what i read somewhere. also there is a button and when you press it a little ball moves and next to it say: 2-4-8-12-20-50 inf ft. so im assuming that has to do with focus? can image be uploaded on this forum? i dont have a website. if anyone could help me out it would be greatly apreciated, im extremelly new to super 8. thanks in advance.

They have stopped making 8mm sound film now, the best type of film is the kodak Kodacrome film. U will get 50ft for about £12 wich is about three mins. Kodak will also develop the film for free but u will have to pay to get it transfered to digital.
