how to use a Keystone Synchro Sound 211 SL

Hello, people of Reddit.

I recently stumbled upon a great deal on a very well-kept camera, but I cannot find its manual for the life of me. It's a Keysone Synchro Sound 211 SL. All the information I found on it was just key specs, not a how-to-use manual. I've included some pictures in the post, of course.

My main questions were:

- How do I use the BCL function on the camera?

- What's the red and yellow dot inside the viewfinder?

- How does focusing work on these cameras? I get that it's auto, but, for example, the auto on my point-and-shoots works by placing the subject in a portion of the viewfinder and lightly pressing the shutter to lock focus. I don't know what the equivalent would be here.

- What does "exposure compenstion: +/- correction for auto" mean? Does the camera automatically do exposure compensation?

- This camera only shoots low-speed films. Then, why does there appear to be a tungsten filter up top? What do I use that for?

Sorry if the questions are a bit dumb. I don't want to mess anything up while shooting some very expensive film. If you have the manual or any tips for using this camera properly, please let me know!
