Do you know how to set the film speed on a K1000 (or similar camera?)

First you pull up on the shutter speed dial. The collar around it should come up easily. Then, while still holding the collar up, rotate the collar counterclockwise until 200 is visible in the little window on the dial, and the orange dot on the dial is next to the black dot above 200. The way the camera is set up now, it's set to use 400 speed film which is one stop more sensitive than 200 speed film.

EDIT: Looks right for Sunny 16 rule, though. Have fun!
