FLASH COMPENSATION
This function enables you to bias the output of an accessory flash as much as + or –
3 EVs in 0.5 EV increments.
• Check the compensation amount by pressing the flash-compensation and exposure-
compensation buttons.
• Cancel flash compensation by resetting it to 0.0 or pressing the Program-reset
button.
• Use exposure compensation when the exposure level for the overall image is to be
compensated for both flash and normal illumination (see page 47). If flash
compensation is also set in this case the light from the flash will be subject to dual
compensation. The desired result will not be obtained if the sum of the exposure
compensation and flash compensation values is less than -3.0 or greater than +3.0.
Press and hold the Exposure-
compensation button and the
manual fill-flash button.
