Exposure compensation allows you to take well-balanced pictures by
intentionally modifying the correct exposure when a subject of extremely high
or low reflectivity is included in a picture or when you want to create flash
photographs to match your creative preferences.
nSome plus compensation may be necessary when the background includes a mirror,
white wall, or other highly reflective surface. Likewise, some minus compensation may be
required when the background is dark or includes subjects of low reflectivity.
nMaking exposure compensation for both the main subject and background or the main
subject without affecting the background are possible, depending on the flash shooting
situations.
Exposure compensation on the SB-80DX can be performed in the following ways:
Exposure compensation and flash output level

Making exposure compensation
for both the main subject and
background

Making exposure compensation
for the background only

m Use the camera’s exposure compensation function to modify both the
SB-80DX’s flash output level and the background exposure. For details,
see your camera’s instruction manual.
m The exposure compensation value set on the camera is not displayed on the
SB-80DX’s LCD panel.
m Exposure compensation beyond the usable ISO sensitivity range cannot be
performed (p. 23). For example, with an ISO sensitivity of 100, if you try to
make an exposure compensation of +3 steps on the camera (equivalent to
ISO 12), which is out of the usable ISO sensitivity range (ISO 25-1000) of the
SB-80DX. However, exposure compensation up to +2 steps (equivalent to
ISO 25) is possible.
