yFlash Exposure CompensationN

In the same way as normal exposure compensation, you can set exposure compensation for flash. You can set flash exposure compensation up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.

1 Press the <m> button. (9)

Increased exposure

Decreased exposure

2Set the flash exposure compensation amount.

While looking at the LCD panel or viewfinder, turn the <5> dial.

To cancel the flash exposure compensation, set the flash exposure compensation amount back to <E>.

When you press the shutter button halfway, the <y> icon will be displayed in the viewfinder and on the LCD panel.

3Take the picture.

If the [2Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.75) is set to anything other than

[Disable], the image may still look bright even if a darker flash exposure has been set. If you set flash exposure compensation with both the camera and EX-series Speedlite, the Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation setting will override the camera’s. If you set flash exposure compensation with an EX-series Speedlite, any flash exposure compensation set with the camera will not take effect.

The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after you set the power switch to <2>.

The camera can also be used to set the EX-series Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation in the same way as with the Speedlite.
