Flash Compensation

Flash compensation alters flash output from the level suggested by the camera, changing the brightness of the main sub- ject relative to the background. Choose from values between –3 EV (darker) and +1 EV (brighter) in increments of 1/3 EV; in

general, positive values make the subject brighter while nega- tive values make it darker.

AY icon is displayed when flash com- pensation is in effect. Normal flash out- put can be restored by setting flash compensation to ±0. Flash compensa- tion is not reset when the camera is turned off.
