Flash Exposure Compensation
Flash exposure compensation is used to increase or reduce flash output from
the level chosen by the camera’s flash control system. Flash output can be
increased to make the main subject appear brighter, or reduced to prevent
unwanted highlights or reflections. As a rule of thumb, positive compensa-
tion may be needed when the main subject is darker than the background,
negative compensation when the main subject is brighter than the background.
1
Pressing the button, rotate the main com-
mand dial and confirm flash exposure compen-
sation in the control panel or viewfinder. Flash
exposure compensation can be set to values
between –3 EV (darker) and +1 EV (brighter) in
increments of
1
/
3
EV.
At values other than ±0, a icon will be dis-
played in the control panel and viewfinder af-
ter you release the button. The current
value for flash exposure compensation can be
confirmed by pressing the button.

tion is not reset when the camera is turned off.
