You can change the flash output in a range of -2.0 to +1.0. The following
flash compensation values can be set according to the step interval set in
[1. EV Steps] (p.75) of the [A Custom Setting 1] menu.
1 Press the four-way controller (3) in Step 2 on p.62.
2 Turn the e-dial.
The flash compensation value is set.
Press the d (G) button to reset the value
to 0.0.
The flash pops up and discharges automatically when necessary, such as
when using a shutter speed which is likely to cause camera shake or in
backlit conditions. The flash may pop up but may not discharge if the
camera determines that the flash is not necessary.
Compensating Flash Output
EV Steps Selectable Flash Compensation Value
1/3 EV -2.0, -1.7, -1.3, -1.0, -0.7, -0.3, 0.0, +0.3, +0.7, +1.0
1/2 EV -2.0, -1.5, -1.0, -0.5, 0.0, +0.5, +1.0
• When the flash output exceeds its maximum amount, the compensation will
not be effective even if the compensation value is set to the plus (+) side.
• Compensating to the minus (-) side may have no effect if the subject is too
close, the aperture is set to a large opening, or the set sensitivity is high.
• The flash output compensation is also effective for external flash units which
support P-TTL auto flash mode.
Shooting with Auto Flash
The auto flash mode is available only when the mode dial is set to n or H
(except K, d, A, Z, y, U, n, or E).
