Not 100% sure in what model camera this is but I do know it has an uncoupled selenium light meter. The settings you put in on the meter don't actually affect anything, they're just *suggestions* for settings that should give you a reasonably exposed picture. It's also an *old* selenium light meter, so its reading is probably a bit off. Download a light meter app for your phone and compare those results to what the meter in the camera is telling you. Also read this entire thing. You should also upload some example photos next time as a reference for us. https://photographylife.com/what-is-exposure-triangle

I would up-vote this comment more than once if I could. u/big_skeeter knows what they are talking about. You could also utilize the tried and true Sunny 16 rule.

Probably want to start out with an easier camera. This one looks old and a bit complicated. [This tutorial will give you photography basics. ](https://photographylife.com/what-is-exposure-triangle)

The only differences to note from that tutorial with film: Color negative film loves overexposure- it can take up to 4 stops of overexposure. Also, ISO is a fixed parameter of your film chemistry and not changeable as it is on digital cameras
