Flash exposure compensation

Flash exposure compensation can be used to increase or reduce flash output from the level chosen by the camera’s flash control system. Flash output can be increased to make the main subject appear brighter, or reduced to prevent unwanted highlights or reflections.

While pressing , rotate the sub-command dial and confirm flash exposure compensation in the control panel or viewfinder.

Flash exposure compensation can be set to values between –3 EV (darker) and +1 EV (brighter) in increments of 1/3 EV.

See p.78 for details of flash shooting.

•At values other than ±0, a icon will be displayed in the control panel and viewfinder after you release .

•As a rule of thumb, positive compensation may be needed when the main subject is darker than the background, negative compensation when the main subject is brighter than the background.

To release flash exposure compensation

Normal flash output can be restored by setting flash exposure compensation to ±0.0 or performing a two-button reset. Flash exposure compensation is not reset when the camera is turned off.

MEMO

Flash exposure compensation is also available when a Nikon SB-800 or SB-600 Speedlight is attached.
