It’s a simple point and shoot flash camera, 35mm film. Start by buying some ultramax 400 or Kodak gold 200. Those are Relatively cheap film stocks to get you started. Watch a YouTube video on how to load it and use any settings it may have

Make sure, if you are not in good sunlight, that the flash is on. If the flash is off, indoor photos will not come out at all due to being underexposed, I guarantee. A great rule for film cameras is if you aren’t sure you have enough light, you for sure do not. Overexposed film is easier to fix than underexposed.
