On a clear sunny day with the sun fairly high in the sky, if you meter the blue sky, but not near the sun, your reading will be the sunny 16 rule (1/iso in sec at f/16--e.g., at iso 100, it should be f/16 at 1/100 sec, or f/11 at 1/200 sec, etc.). This method (metering blue sky) is both reliable and easy to do.
If you don't get this result adjust the iso (ASA) number so it does give you this result. (E.g., if setting iso = 100, the camera says 1/400 sec at f/16, that means you should divide the iso by 4--i.e., whatever the film iso is, set the camera iso 1/4 of that value.
