I'd state this as "modifying" the exposure reading (assuming you're
using the in camera meter) rather than 'pushing' or 'pulling' insofar
as those terms are usually used to describe changing the *processing*
IOW push or pull process.
The new Ektachrome reversal for Super8 is 64T i.e. exposure index of 64
Tungsten (40 daylight with the filter).
I don't know anything about the cartridge notches, never used that.
(Why not buy a separate light meter ?)
I had a Nizo long ago which had plenty of control over manual exposure,
did single frame etc. It was a "Nizo Special" but essentially an S56.
