Adjusting the Flash Exposure Compensation

Just as with regular exposure compensation (=125), you can adjust the flash exposure from –2 to +2 stops, in 1/3-stop increments.

zzRaise the flash, press the <r> button and immediately turn the <z> dial to choose the compensation level, and then press the <m> button.

XXOnce the setting is complete, [X] is displayed.

• When there is a risk of overexposure, the camera automatically adjusts the shutter speed or aperture value during the flash shots to reduce washed- out highlights and shoot at optimal exposure. However, you can deactivate automatic adjustment of the shutter speed and aperture value by accessing <n> (=48) and setting [Safety FE] in [Flash Control] on the [4] tab to [Off].

•You can also configure the flash exposure compensation by choosing [X] in the FUNC. menu (=47), or by accessing <n> (=48) and choosing [Flash Exp. omp] in [Flash Control] on the [4] tab.

•You can also access the [Built-in Flash Settings] <n> screen as follows (except when an optional external flash is mounted).

-Press and hold the <r> button for at least one second.

-When the flash is up, press the <r> button and immediately press the <n> button.
