–1.0 Ev flash compensation

When the camera flash is raised, the degree of flash compensation is indicated by the Ev scale.

When using fill-flash to reduce harsh shadows caused by bright illumination or direct sunlight, flash compensation can change the ratio between the highlights and shadows. Fill flash affect the darkness of the shadows without affecting the area illuminated by the main light source.

Positive compensation

No compensation

Negative compensation

No flash

By decreasing the flash output with a negative Ev setting, the shadows receive less light and are darker, but subtle details in the shadows that would not appear without the flash are apparent. Increasing the flash output by using a positive Ev setting softens and nearly eliminate shadows.
