Flash Compensation
Flash compensation is used t
o deliberately alt
er flash output, for example in order to change the
brightness of the subject relative to the background. Flash output can be increased to make the main
subject appear brighter, reduced to prevent glare, or otherwise fine-tuned to produce the desired
result.
Adjusting Flash Compensation
Hold the c button and r
otate the sub-command dial.
Choose from values of from −3 to +1 EV.
At default settings, changes to flash output are made in increments of
1
/
3
EV. The size of the
increment can be selected using Custom Setting b2 [EV steps for exposure cntrl].
In general, choose positive values for brighter lighting, negative values to ensure that the subject is
not too brightly lit.
At values other than ±0.0, a Y icon will appear in the shooting display and the control panel.
Flash compensation can be viewed in the shooting display and control panel by pressing the c
button.
Normal flash output can be restored by setting flash compensation to ±0.0. Flash compensation is
not reset when the camera is turned off.
