Does the meter work? If so, you just set the ISO dial to 200 and then adjust the shutter speed and apeture so that the meter is in range. If the meter doesn't work you probably will have to use the 'Sunny 16' rule. Just do a search on this forum or Google. The camera will not work with the lens on the 'A' setting.
