Flash compensation

Flash compensation increases or decreases the flash exposure of the flash in reference to the ambient exposure by as much as ±1 Ev. See page 82 for more on Ev. See pages 68 and 69 for more on custom functions. Flash compensation is set on the manual recording menu.

Positive compensation No compensation

Negative compensation No flash

When using fill-flash to reduce harsh shadows caused by direct sunlight, flash compensation changes the ratio between the highlights and shadows. By decreasing the flash output with a negative Ev setting, the shadows receive less light and are deeper. Using a positive Ev setting softens or eliminates shadows.

Saturation

Saturation controls how vivid the colors of an image are. Saturation can be set in five levels. See pages 68 and 69 for more on custom functions. Saturation is set on the manual recording menu.

Contrast

Contrast controls the tonal ratio of an image. Contrast can be set in five levels. See pages 68 and 69 for more on custom functions. Contrast is set on the manual recording menu.
