Adjusting the Flash Exposure Compensation
Still Images
Movies
Just as with regular exposure compensation (
=
72), you can adjust the
flash exposure from –2 to +2 stops, in 1/3-stop increments.
●
Raise the flash, press the [
] button and
immediately turn the [
] dial to choose
the compensation level, and then press
the [
] button.
●
The correction level you specified is now
displayed.
●
When there is a risk of overexposure, the camera automatically
adjusts the shutter speed or aperture value during the flash shots
to reduce washed-out highlights and shoot at optimal exposure.
However, you can deactivate automatic adjustment of the shutter
speed and aperture value by accessing MENU (
=
30) and
choosing [
] tab ► [Flash Control] ► [Safety FE] ► [Off].
●
You can also configure the flash exposure compensation by
accessing MENU (
=
30) and choosing [
] tab ► [Flash
Control] ► [Flash Exp. Comp].
●
You can also access the [Built-in Flash Settings] MENU screen
(
=
30) as follows (except when an optional external flash is
mounted).
-
When the flash is up, press the [
] button and immediately
press the [
] button.
Slow Synchro
Fires to illuminate the main subject (such as people) while shooting at a
slower shutter speed to illuminate backgrounds out of flash range.
●
In [
] mode, mount the camera on a tripod or take other
measures to keep it still and prevent camera shake. Additionally,
you should set [IS Mode] to [Off] when using a tripod or other
means to secure the camera (
=
90).
●
In [
] mode, even after the flash fires, ensure that the main
subject does not move until the shutter sound is finished playing.
Off
For shooting without the flash.
●
If a blinking [
] icon is displayed when you press the shutter
button halfway in camera-shake inducing, low-light conditions,
mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to keep it
still.
