Flash Compensation
Adjusting Flash Compensation
Flash output can be adjusted using the [Flash compensation] item in the photo shooting menu.
- 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.
- Normal flash output can be restored by setting flash compensation to ±0.0. Flash compensation is not reset when the camera is turned off.
Flash compensation is performed automatically along with exposure compensation when [Entire frame] is selected for Custom Setting e3 [Exposure comp. for flash].
