The components of your camera were made in several different countries. So, threatening it in English can be lost on it. It's best to learn some harsh language in Chinese and Japanese if you really want to insult your camera and make it work properly.
Also, it wouldn't hurt to pick up material on photography and really get to know how shutter speeds work with aperture settings... among other things.

LOL, i have tried to research it online, a bit
I need layman's terms
all that crap that is posted on photography forums is like a 3rd language I don't know !
First set both SimCams to 1/60 f/4 and shoot a picture. The ISO 400 film is overexposed, so you need to compensate by reducing light - move the shutter or aperture 2 stops higher to balance the exposure. (For example move the shutter to 1/250, or the aperture to f/8)
All stops are interchangable. By going from ISO 100 to ISO 400, you have two stops more light. You can "spend" those stops on aperture or shutter speed.
Notice the increased grain and contrast of the ISO 400 example. Remember, if you need more light than, you can increase the film speed.

I just want to know how to make it work, right. For basic shots

It looks like your shutter speed is too low for you to hold the camera by hand. You absolutely need a tripod if you're gonna do any type of shooting in dark situations. Also, in a couple pics, it looks like your camera may have focused on the wrong object in the scene, or not focused at all...

post a pic of something shot under decent light, with the cam set up on your table for stability. Post it up so we can see if there's a focus problem, high ISO, aperture, whatever

Set it on AUTO and take some pics outside. That should at least get the speed and shutter where they should be and if it is STILL crappy I would suspect BC's special price.......
