Flash Output Display

When you change the flash output during shooting, the table below makes it easier to see how the stop changes such as 1/2 -0.3 → 1/2 → 1/2 +0.3. You can see how the stop changes when you increase or decrease the flash output.

For example, when you decrease the flash output to 1/2, 1/2 -0.3, or 1/2 -0.7, and then increase the flash output to more than 1/2, 1/2 +0.3, 1/2 +0.7, and 1/1 will be displayed.
