I had this camera for a long time, and I always wanted to start taking pictures (I take long walks every couple of days), but never really started doing that, as the film's really costly. Recently a friend of mine gave away 2 film rolls (ISO-200 and ISO-400) that he won't use, as he bought a digital camera, so I can take 48 pictures.
I don't know much about photography, I've read various articles about photography (of which most are on digital photography) and my camera. I still have some trouble understand some, I think basic, things, so here I am. But before I begin asking questions, here's a link to some information (or at least pictures) about the camera.
Before doing anything, I have to set the film exposure format, which would be 250 and 500 for ISO-200 and ISO-400 respectively. Then I have to set the lighting level according to what the light meter says. After that, there's a reading for the aperture rating, and that is where I'm starting to have a problem.
I've read that shutter speed and aperture level should be changed accordingly. Since I have a reading for the aperture rating, I should limit the aperture rating on my lens, but what to do then? What should be the shutter speed?
Another thing is that when I "click" (limit/set) the aperture rating on for example f/4 (which is what I get during a cloudy day), I can still control it with the second ring, I can set it somewhere from f/2 to /f4. But if I have to limit it, why can I still control it? And why can't I set the sharpness to f/16, why do I have to "limit" it?
