What settings? Ones that work. Generally the light will be brighter than indoor settings and you will want a larger depth of field so you will probably want to stop the aperture down a few notches. However, the most important thing is to know how to adjust the settings.

Try taking several shots of the same scene using different combinations. You can use the onscreen histogram to zero in on a good exposure and, back on your computer, you can look at the finer details.
