eli5: How are shutter speed and aperture determined when using manual adjustments on film-based cameras?

413 views

On film-based cameras from the 90’s, there was no indication of how your picture would turn out with your given settings in manual mode. So how were these settings determined manually without the convenience of LCD preview screens that we have on modern digital cameras?

Outdoors in the sunshine there was the sunny 16 rule.

(Set your aperture to f/16 and your iso to the inverse if your shutter speed fir a perfectly exposed image)
