On the back of my PS 200 flash is a chart which applies to ASA 100 films, however I am most likely to be using faster films, such as ASA 200, 250, 320, 400 How do I work out the correct F number setting for my camera?

Thanks
 
ASA 200 emulsion is twice as sensitive as 100, 400 is four times etc.

It really is as simple as doing division in your head.

So 1/60 exposure for a 100ASA film will need only 1/120 for a 200ASA

Or in f numbers, one 'stop' for each doubling.

f8 for 100ASA, f11 for 200ASA, f16 for 400ASA
