Safety FE

The camera automatically changes the shutter speed or aperture value when the flash fires to avoid overexposing and blowing out the highlights in the scene. However, if you press the nbutton to display the 4tab and set [Safety FE] to [Off] in [Flash Settings], the shutter speed and aperture value will not automatically adjust.

You can also set the flash exposure compensation. Press the n button and choose [Flash Settings] (p. 93) from the 4tab. Then choose [Flash Exp. omp] and press the qrbuttons to choose a setting.

With the flash raised, if you press the rbutton and immediately press the n button, the setting screen will appear.
