errr. it doesn't. It's all down to flash and guesswork. Oh, and loading the correct film for the weather conditions. This was 200asa. It was just about up to the job in the sunshine at westonbirt arboretum, but a few of the ones I took came out too dark to be useable. The ones I took in west-kennet longbarrow were rubbish. far too dark and the flash is too weedy and gets blocked by the lens too!

Generally, sunny day, 100-200iso
cloudy day, 400 iso plus flash.
Inside 800iso plus flash. And even then you'll be lucky.

The other option is to get the friendly staff at boots (and they are) to push the film by as many stops as you think necessary. In case you ave the wrong film on the day.

Hope that expains it a bit. It's all fun though.
