Flash compensation
±0.0 Ev
:func. :adjust :enter
When the camera flash is raised, the degree of flash
compensation is indicated by the Ev scale.
When using fill-flash to reduce harsh shadows
caused by bright illumination or direct sunlight, flash
compensation can change the ratio between the
highlights and shadows. Fill flash affect the darkness
of the shadows without affecting the area illuminated
by the main light source.
–1.0 Ev flash compensation
By decreasing the flash output with a negative Ev setting, the shadows receive less light
and are darker, but subtle details in the shadows that would not appear without the flash
are apparent. Increasing the flash output by using a positive Ev setting softens and nearly
eliminate shadows.
