In cameras with «P» configuration or later shutter there is no ambient light measurement made. If a flash bar is in the shutter socket a flash picture will result regardless of the ambient light level. On early cameras, an ambient light measurement is made during the flash delay period. Since the photocell aperture is a part of the shutter blades, the amount of reflected light reaching the cell will also be a function of focusing distance. the shutter electronics delays firing the flash
