if it is really sunny and clear, few or no clouds, you put your shutter speed on one over the nearest number to your ISO and then put your f stop on 16!.

So, you are shooting 400 ISO film, put your camera on 1/500 of a second, set the f at 16!. If you are shooting ISO 200, you put your shutter speed on 1/250 and shoot at f 16

If it is quite as sunny as you say it is, us f 11Www@QuestionHome@Com

Is the built-in light meter working!? You should be able to get workable aperture/shutter speed combinations from that!. Look at your manual for details!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
