My problem is - my little sister played with my old film camera - she loaded a new film, but forgot to change the film speed and took a couple of shot with the asa rating set on the one of the old film. Can I do anything about it, if I change it to what it should be - will it be OK, or is the film wasted?

You should change it back to what you want to shoot and it will be ok for the rest of the film. But the stuff shot at the wrong ISO might be lost. Depending on how far she changed it. One stop won't really make a difference. Film is very flexible and has a good latitude for surviving.

The remaining film in the camera hasn't been exposed, so you can change the ASA to the correct setting.
The shots that you've already taken may not have gotten the correct amount of light for the film, so might not come out right. They can probably be adjusted somewhat at time of development, or manipulated digitally. You'll have to wait and see.

It would help if we knew the speed that was used vs. the film speed rating, but you can just set it back to what it is supposed to be. Depending on the film, you've got a pretty broad exposure latitude so it should be fine.

If you're worried about the existing pictures, film has quite a latitude, so it's POSSIBLE they are OK...as for the rest, just change the ISO now , like everyone says.

no longer confident what you recommend by "publicity meter contained in the middle". Assuming that you've been dealing with what the digital camera cautioned, your images will maximum probable finally end up high quality (a minimum of in the journey that they were unfavorable movie; slide movie has a lot less leeway). What you probably did is you "overexposed" your movie by "one provide up". even if, in my adventure, movie images oftentimes conflict through from underexposure besides, even if the digital camera uncovered them "properly" in accordance to the meter. So your images will surely finally end up better than they frequently could have (this for sure relies upon on what the lights situations were). presently, even as capturing on vehicle, i have been purposely doing what you probably did (utilising 400iso movie and purposely putting my digital camera at 2 hundred), and my images have a tendency to come back out better. it truly is because my digital camera robotically underexposes because the bright spots contained in the viewfinder consistently trick my digital camera. (it truly is why it truly is staggering to shoot on guide mode if a chance, the position you opt for the proper publicity). yet, there is not any longer thanks to carry close till you advance the movie. So go advance them.

Everything is ok. Just set it to what it should be and the remaining shots will be great.

The frames she took might be over or under exposed. You can change it to what it should be and all the frames after would be exposed correctly.
