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 [2. EV Steps] in the [A Custom Setting] menu. (p.101)
Turn the rear e-dial to set [Flash Mode] in the Fn menu (p.75).
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
The flash output cannot be compensated in Green mode.
N appears in the LCD panel and the viewfinder during flash exposure
compensation. (p.27)
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] menu returns the flash
exposure compensation to the default setting (0.0).
