Compensating Flash Output
You can change the flash output in a range of –2.0 to +1.0. The flash
compensation values are as follows for 1/2 EV and 1/3 EV.
* Set interval of steps in [1. EV Steps] (p.101) in the [A Custom Setting] menu.
Set the flash compensation value by turning the e-dial in the [Flash Mode]
screen in the Fn menu (p.77).
Step interval Flash compensation
1/2 EV
–2.0, –1.5, –1.0, –0.5, 0.0, +0.5, +1.0
1/3 EV
–2.0, –1.7, –1.3, –1.0, –0.7, –0.3, 0.0, +0.3, +0.7, +1.0
If the maximum flash output is exceeded when corrected to the plus (+) side,
no compensation will be effective.
Compensating to the minus (–) side may not effect the image if the subject is
too close, aperture is low or sensitivity is high.
This flash compensation is also effective for external flash units which
support P-TTL auto flash mode.
Pressing the Green button on the [Flash Mode] screen resets the flash
exposure compensation to the default setting [0.0].
