Why does most of the film in my disposable cameras keep getting ruined? Twice in a row, a good 4/5 of the photos are just a grey mess.

Picture related, it's one of the photos.

Underexposed. Do you know anything about photography? (Not being mean, just asking.)

I know a few things about digital photography, but close to nothing about film. How do I avoid underexposure?

Light tends to help.

After reading briefly about underexposure on disposable cameras, I have a few additional questions. This photo was taken in a practically pitch black room with the stage as the only source of light, and it came out more or less fine (not ruined). A few photos taken in a bus with much better lighting still turned out as grey blobs. Is it still underexposure?

In the gig photo you have a powerful light source. What film is in the camera? Do you know what speed its shooting at? ISO 400 etc?
If your film is sat at ISO 400 and your shutter is sat around 1/80 f/8 you will always underexpose in low light situations. Disposables tend to be built for decent light with a flash built in for darker situations.

You have a light leak - thats for sure. Plus it looks like you have a very poor light source. Again - at iso 400, without flash, youre not going to get much detail.

You haven't being using the flash.

Disposable cameras can't change their aperture, shutter speed or ISO, so the exposure setting is fixed. The only way to change the exposure is to have the flash on or off.

Of course they can change the settings, otherwise you couldn't change exposure and everything would be either under or overexposed

Disposable cameras are not made to any serious photography. 99% of them are just basic point and shoot and nothing else. I give them to children to play with.

That's a way to introduce people to real 35mm
