AND using an old film camera light meter, what film speed film setting would one use ?

Your digital camera has a fully capable light meter as an onboard, out of the box feature of the digital technology. What would you need a separate light meter for? If you or the camera set the shutterspeed and aperture, the camera dynamically adjusts the ISO to achieve the 0-mark on the camera's meter. Or, the camera adjusts to the EC offset defined by the Exposure Compensation setting.
What are you doing? What are you trying to do? We'd a need a bit more detail / background.

“Auto” (assuming you’re not joking). I’m a specialist in Auto ISO so I never use it. It’s that simple.

You can't.
The OLD light meters are set for a specific FIXED FILM speed that is being used in a camera.
Seems like what you are trying to do is similar to trying to use a manual and automatic transmission at the same time.

I would bet you’re barking up the wrong flagpole. Double check under the bridge.

How does one set an external light meter to AUTO?
Obviously I'm not following to what you are referring.

What you'd be doing with a digital camera is aiming for whatever the base ISO is for your camera. However, with Auto ISO the ISO value is going to be jumping about not only as you change shutter or aperture values but also as the light level changes. One possibility is to meter for incident light, and the best way to do that is to dial in an ISO value and aperture and use the meter to suggest the shutter speed..... or you could just use the camera's metering.

User ID might be implying that you shouldn"t apply logic to questions from "under the bridge" residents....🤔
In this case, though, I think User may be off base...

NowI understand.
I believe I agree with you on your last statement.
One question may not be from under the bridge, responses would usually indicate that.
I've seen/heard many unique questions.

Sometimes understanding comments from the UHH Shakespeares requires a Ouija board, a crystal ball, and/or a shot of bourbon. Sometimes even that doesn't work....😐

What, or who, do you encounter under a bridge ? Hint: Looks vaguely like garden gnomes but different.

I’ve heard that they grow to what ever size fits under their chosen bridge.
Fortunately they prefer “cozy” spaces. I mean, what if they grew up to the space under the Golden Gate ?!?!?

You all can wonder if my assessment is off base. I checked his archive before posting my first comment.
He’s authored lotsa Attic and Chit Cat threads. Maybe I’m wrong ... but I did not leap to any conclusions based on zero data.
What I smell here is the reliable UHH formula of generating a long pointless thread based on a stoopidly framed opening question.
And if I’m wrong then I’m wrong. Meh.
