Slide Film

I have a roll of Fuji Velvia, and it's an ISO 50. Now, my brother said that I should either make the shutter speed 3 stops slower than what I would use for an ISO 400, or the aperture 3 times larger. But what if I just change the speed of the camera to be ISO 50, the same as the speed of film, do I still need to do that? I should be asking my photography teacher this, but we have a four-day weekend ahead. My brother did a calibration test, but I'm not sure what exactly he means. I don't even know if he set the speed of camera to ISO 50, or just kept it at 400..

I'm sure you already found the answer to this:

but if you have an ISO setting of 50 it's best to just set that.

My brother thought I was using the school camera, so he decided to help me out a bit, I guess. But I know how it works; he just confused me and I thought that whatever I learned was wrong. lol.
