peak at maximum output of the light burst. The half peak at maximum is usually

The following table makes it easier to see how the exposure values changes in terms
of equivalent stops when you increase or decrease the flash output. For example,
when you decrease the flash output to 1/2, 1/2-0.3, or 1/2-0.7, and the same
exposure value when you increase the flash output to more than 1/2, 1/2+0.3,
1/2+0.7, and 1/1. The relative amount from the starting value will be displayed.
