What is the appropriate film camera settings for relatively sunny weather?

What is the appropriate film camera settings for sunny weather? What would be your safest bet? I'm working with a film camera (Nikon FE2) and I'm rather inexperienced. Any help would be great!|||It depends on the lens you are using. But start at 100 or 200 ISO and then f11 and 1/250th shutter speed. If you get into really sunny spots like a beach etc with heavy reflection you will have to speed the shutter to 1/500th or faster.|||There is actually a thumb rule for this. For whatever film type (or ISO)you are using (be it 100, 400, 800, etc.), set your shutter speed to 1/2 that or the closest to 1/2 (so 1/60, 1/250, 1/500, etc) and set your aperture from f/8 to f/11. You can of course deviate from this, but compensation is required. Say you change your aperture from f/8 to f/5.6, you might have to double your shutter speed. I suggest you experiment with your settings and keep notes of lighting conditions and camera settings along with exposure numbers for comparison after development. When in doubt, trust the TTL metering indication! It works okay most of the time, even though it restricts your flexibility in artistic expression.|||You can experiment a bit. But if your film speed (ASA) is 100, set camera shutter speed to 1/125 at aperture F/16. I see you're using the same camera I used for many,many years. Don't forget your camera has aperture/shutter priority. Set either one or the other and camera sets itself.|||Iso 50 film and work from there.
