Taking Photographs—Flash Photography

Flash Exposure Compensation

In P, S, A, and M modes, ﬂash exposure compensation can be used to increase or reduce ﬂash output from the level chosen by the camera’s ﬂash control system (ﬂash exposure compensation is not available in Digital Vari-Program modes). Flash output can be increased to make the main subject appear brighter, or reduced to prevent unwanted highlights or reﬂections. As a rule of thumb, positive compensation may be needed when the main subject is darker than the background, negative compensation when the main subject is brighter than the background.


Rotate the mode dial to P, S, A, or M and choose a ﬂash sync mode as
1 described in Steps 1–4 of “Using the Built-in Speedlight” (			97–98).

Pressing the	button, rotate the sub-com-
2 mand dial and conﬁrm ﬂash exposure com-
pensation in the control panel or viewﬁnder.
Flash exposure compensation can be set to
values between	–3 EV (darker) and +1 EV

(brighter) in increments of 1/3 EV.

At values other than ±0, a icon will be displayed in the control panel and viewﬁnder

after you release the button. The current value for ﬂash exposure compensation can be

conﬁrmed by pressing the button.

3 Take a picture as instructed in Steps 5–7 of “Using the Built-in Speed- light” ( 99).

Normal ﬂash output can be restored by setting ﬂash exposure compensation to ±0.0 or performing a two button reset ( 111). Flash exposure compen- sation is not reset when the camera is turned off.

Using Flash Exposure Compensation with Optional Speedlights

Flash exposure compensation is also available with optional SB-800 and SB-600 Speed- lights.

9—EV Step ( 144)

This option can be used to set the increments for ﬂash compensation to ½ EV.
