Some camera models include an EV compensation control. Using this control you can modify the exposure to make your picture lighter or darker. To make the picture lighter, use + compensation . For darker pictures use - compensation . How much compensation you choose depends on how much you want to modify the resulting picture.

The shooting distance range for TTL automatic flash operation varies with the amount of exposure compensation .

For example:

With ISO film, an aperture of f/4, and a zoom setting of 35mm, if you set the camera's exposure compensation dial at + 2, the flash shooting distance range-which is 1m to 9m (approx. 4ft. to 30ft.) at ISO 100-shifts to O.6m to 4m (approx. 2ft. to 15ft.) at ISO 25.
