Abstract

A lens-fitted photo film unit can take indoor- and night-photographs at adequate tone- and color-reproductions, by satisfying the condition: EQU -6.ltoreq.2log.sub.2 (A)+log.sub.2 (1/T)-log.sub.2 (0.3.multidot.S).ltoreq.5 wherein T, A and S represents the shutter speed, the aperture size, and the ISO film speed. The film speed is determined to be not less than ISO640, and more preferably not less than ISO1000. The guide number (ISO100.multidot.m) of a flash device of the film unit is set to be in a range from 0.1 to 8, more preferably from 1 to 6, and most preferably from 3 to 5, and satisfies the condition: 8.0.ltoreq.log.sub.2 (G.sup.2)+log.sub.2 (1/T).ltoreq.12.0, in combination with the shutter speed T.
