There are no rules or conventions for this. It is totally up to you to chose which method to use.

For outdoor pictures in daylight, I'd suggest ISO 200 film. Indoors, you may have to go to 400 or even 800.

There certainly is nothing wrong with Kodak films. If you're shooting slides, you might want to give the Fuji films a try, they tend to give much more saturated colors.

Greetings, The batteries would be a good place to start if the camera is having power issues. I see that AAA batteries are used, so you can start with swapping those out. Also, ensure that your camera hasn't recently been dropped or soaked in any type of liquid or exposed to extreme temperatures otherwise internal chips could be harmed. Thank you.

The first physically documented computer bug was documented by Dr. Grace Murray Hopper when she was programming the Mark II Calculator (computer). When the system was not functioning correctly after troubleshooting the system, she found a moth between contacts of a relay. After removing the moth the system functioned and the moth was taped in her notes documenting the bug.
A computer error is displayed when a known problem in the computer code (program) expects a result from the hardware (electronic circuit) or software, and it does not fall within the code parameters. In most cases the error can return information about why the computer had a problem.
Conclusion:
A bug is an unknown failure of the system which usually is intermittent and causes the system to crash or results in some type of failure. An error returns information about the system failure which is displayed or documented on the display or in log file.

Without adapters, none. Contax shared their CY lens mount with Yashica and both produced fine cameras and lenses but neither manufacturer survived the transition from film to digital so there are no digital cameras which can use them as standard.

With the correct adapter you can mount most of them to Olympus Four Thirds and Micro Four Thirds for certain but some CY lenses may have rear elements which project backwards too far into the camera body. You'll also find that there will be no automatic stop down and no communication of aperture, zoom or focus settings to whichever digital body you fit them to.

Many CY lenses are excellent Carl Zeiss T* units but like almost all old 35mm lenses the optical designs were designed by engineers using slide rules and calculators. Except for the occasional "accidentally good" lens you shouldn't expect the optical performance to match contemporary designs which have the benefit of computer aided design and the latest advances in optical technology. This is especially true at apertures wider than around f8.

You may find adapters from CY to anything else to be hard to obtain/expensive simply due to lack of demand: even at their peak, Contax and Yashica SLR cameras were infrequently encountered and had very low sales volumes.

Although this may all sound negative, my advice is to check ebay for an adapter; many good Chinese sellers offer excellent and cheap adapters but research their feedback. Your lenses should be much better than the average 35mm SLR lenses and if you can accept a few compromises are still capable of producing very good photographs under the right conditions. Alternatively find a good used body like a Contax 139 or Yashica FX-D and scan the 35mm negatives afterwards for best results.
