1. load film (120)
2. focus and compose
3. shutter release (on front below lens)
4. wind (handle on side)
5. develop

have fun

Based on the horribly underexposed shot of it that you took with a fully modern, user-friendly camera, I think the most truthful answer here would be "Poorly, if at all"
>> Anonymous
while your opinion is noted, the shot is intentionally horridly underexposed for another site. im just horribly lazy and didnt brighten it up for this site because unless your monitor is dying you can still see what it is and provide some kind of usefull information not just random spaming

there's likely lines on the prism, depending the focus the lines indicate where the film is being exposed and thusly represents the composition your should be making.

there's probably other important aspects to that camera to be explained, but you've managed to give us no make information...

Model : Yashica Mat 124 G, TLR type camera

It is a Yashica Mat-124G. I have one. You will need some 120 or 220 roll film.

First, open the back and take the empty spool out of the bottom spool holder and put it in the top one. Then, move the pressure plate to the correct position, red 12. exp for 120 film and green 24 exp for 220 film. Tear off the seal from the roll and place it in the bottom spool holder with the end of the leader pointing toward the top of the camera. Pull the leader up to the top and put the tapered end in the slot in the empty spool at the top. If there is no empty spool at all you will need to get one. Wind the crank until the leader engages the take up spool securely. Continue winding until the bold black arrow on the backing reaches the correct start mark on the body (Red 12. exp for 120 film, green 24 exp for 220). Close and lock the back. Wind until the crank stops.

Part 2:

Open the finder hood on the top and compose the shot. The knob on the left is for focusing. I see from your picture you have already figured out how to pop up the focusing magnifier. The knob on the left of the lenses is for the aperture, the other for the shutter speed. Do not set the shutter speed to intermediate settings; it may jam the shutter. Set the lever on the left side to the X position if necessary. It may have been permanently fixed into position by the previous owner. This sets the flash sync to electronic flash and lessens jamming problems. Push the stud on the bottom right to fire the shutter. Turn the crank downwards until it stops, then back up until it stops to wind the film and recock the shutter.

The meter is on the top, but it's total crap and doesn't work properly with alkaline batteries. Use a handheld meter, other camera, or the Sunny 16 rule.

You should work through all of the shutter speeds several times without film loaded to loosen up the gearing and improve consistency.

You will not have much success unless you understand how to operate a camera in anything other than automatic modes.

"I make my shots look bad intentionally" isn't actually much better than "I make my shots look bad because I'm dumb"

Try a real camera store. Give us a location and we might be able to help more. Or, fucking google it yourself.
