FLASH
EXPOSURE
COMPENSATION
Varying the amount of flash,
in
relation to the available-light exposure, creates different
fill-flash effects.
We
say the fill-flash effect
is
balanced when the flash illumination
is
sufficient to brighten the subject to "almost" the brightness
of
the background. Some-
times we want to use a little more or less flash to make the subject a little brighter or
not quite
so
bright.
Your
choice may be based on desired esthetic qualities, or may
be
forced by extremes
in
lighting.
Generally speaking, you don't want to make the subject too bright, you just want to
brighten shadows.
To
achieve a subtle fill-flash effect, you may want to use some
manually selected "minus" compensation. However, when the background
is
ex-
tremely bright, and the subject
is
in
deep shadows, you will probably want to use some
"plus" compensation. While the

is
quite powerful, whenever using it for fill-flash,
it
is
competing with the sun's
brightness-very
strong competition.
With standard TTL flash (with
~
blinking) you can manually compensate exposure by
adjusting flash output level.
You
can also adjust flash output level for Matr

8alanced
Fill-Flash or Center-Weighted Fill-Flash,
in
combination with the computer

automatic
compensation.
