I have a SF1, not a SF1N, so I don't know anything about an orange strip. But you can download the manual here...

I'll check it out, it was listed as new in box never had film run thru it

The only thing I can think of is IIRC the shutter speeds are displayed vertically on the left hand side of the finder with orange LEDs.

Is there an indicator for no film?

I have a working SF1n on my table at home. In about an hour I'll post up an actual answer for you.

Ok I'll check it when it arrives, I don't think the seller was familiar with the camera and he was giving me a heads up...

Orange stripe mystery solved, it literally was new in back and the orange stripe was the factory insert that needs removed to load film lol...
