Flash Compensation
Flash compensation is used to alter flash output by from –3EV to
+1EV in increments of
1
/
3
EV, changing the brightness of the main
subject relative to the background. Flash output can be increased
to make the main subject appear brighter, or reduced to prevent
unwanted highlights or reflections.
Press the
W
(
M
) button and rotate
the sub-command dial until the
desired value is displayed in the
information display. In general,
choose positive values to make the
main subject brighter, negative
values to make it darker.
At values other than ±0.0, a
Y
icon will be
displayed in the information display and
viewfinder after you release the
W
(
M
)
button. The current value for flash
compensation can be confirmed by
pressing the
W
(
M
) button.
Normal flash output can be restored by
setting flash compensation to ±0.0. Flash
compensation is not reset when the
camera is turned off.
