• Once the Exposure Compensation is set in each P, S or A exposure mode,

 

compensation remains in that exposure mode. Changing the exposure mode to M,

 

8 or Vari-Program temporarily cancels the compensation.

 

• Exposure Compensation set in Vari-Program is canceled when exposure mode is

 

changed .

 

• If the exposure compensation is set when the built-in SpeedJight is used, the flash

 

output level is also compensated.
