There are certain settings on films which correspond to DSLR's also. They both use a single lens reflex system, and can use multiple detachable lenses. The kit lenses that are generic to come with film cameras are 35mm lenses. This is why film cameras are normally just given the name '35 mills.'
MODE DIALS:
Iso is not changeable on film cameras. You can buy different ISO films. The mode dial on the top of the film camera is for shutter speeds. A shutter speed is the speed in which the shutter opens and closes, exposing the film to light. There are different shutter speeds varying from 1/500 (1 500th of a second), 1/250, 1/125, 1/50 or even as slow at 1 (1 second). There is also something called a B setting. The B setting opens the shutter as long as you hold it down.
APERTURE:
Aperture is controlled on the lens, however on DSLR's you can control the aperture in the camera (as well as the shutter speed and ISO). By turning the aperture ring on the lens, you can control the area in focus. The smaller the number, the amount that is in focus is smaller also. You can achieve great bokeh in the background by using small apertures such as 1.4 or 1.8. The higher the aperture number, the higher the more that is in focus such as 22. These numbers are called f settings.
HOW TO ZOOM/FOCUS:
35mm lenses are called fixed focal lengths. If a lens has only one number (50mm, 80mm, 400mm) then it does not zoom. To focus, you turn the focus ring.
HOW TO TAKE A PHOTO:
Press the shutter to take a photo > Pull the shutter lever to pull the film across.* > Press the shutter to take a photo
*To make sure that the photo has rewound properly, try pulling the lever again and if it does not wind again then it has wound properly.
