1.Press and hold and rotate the Main-Command dial until the desired compensation value appears (-3EV to +1EV in 1/2 steps).

Tips:

•When flash exposure compensation is set, appears in the Top Status LCD and viewfinder. You can check the compensation

value by pressing .

•Normally you should compensate exposure to the + side when the background is brighter than your main subject, or to the - side when the background is darker.

2.Press the Flash Lock-Release button to release the Speedlight. Set the Flash Sync mode and Exposure mode.

3.Compose the picture, focus, and confirm that appears in the viewfinder. Be sure the subject is within the flash shooting distance range, then capture the image.

To cancel flash exposure compensation, press to reset the

compensation value to 0.0. Alternatively, you can perform Two-Button Reset. Turning off the camera does not cancel the flash exposure compensation function.
