Try not to use slide film in a Holga. They only have one shutter speed a 2 apertures. Transparency film is extremely sensitive to over and under exposure. If you don't have a perfect exposure, your image will be useless.
For a Holga, you should use colour neg film (c-41) or black and white film. They have a huge exposure latitude and you'll get a printable negative even if you over or under expose by 4 stops.

depends on the frame you put in there, you should get 2 frames when you buy the camera. I think the 12 setting is for the 6x6cm frame and the 6x4.5cm for the 16... hope that helps.

i really dont think that the Holga is a great 'party' camera as it really does nothing 'special' to those kind of shots youve taken OMGITSACAMERA.
i've noticed it too in my own photos with the holga and flashes.lovely snaps from MoPrints
pictures from travels or abroad with great sunshine is where the Holga excells

moamoa,
thats true, there are a lot of good photoshop actions (free and to buy).part of the whole thing with the Holga (and the LC-A to an extent) is that the results are unpredictable and thats the magic of it all.
like the the 'lightleaks' on my image above. yeah sure you could do it in photoshop but it has even more of a "wow" factor to you when you get the prints/scans back and it has something magical like that on it.- I do own a holga, was just for those who don´t have... :)
I totaly agree with youmoamoa
