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. 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.

Pressing the button, rotate the sub-command dial and conﬁrm ﬂash exposure compensation in the control panel or viewﬁnder. Flash exposure compen- sation can be set to values between –3 EV (darker) and +1 EV (brighter) in increments of / EV.

At values other than ±0, a icon will be displayed

in the control panel and viewﬁnder after you release

the button. The current value for ﬂash exposure compensation can be conﬁrmed by pressing the button.

Normal ﬂash output can be restored by setting ﬂash exposure compensation to ±0.0 or performing a two button reset ( 97). Flash exposure compensation is not reset when the camera is turned oﬀ.

Using Flash Exposure Compensation with Optional Speedlights

Flash exposure compensation is also available when an optional SB-800 or SB-600 Speedlight is attached.

Modeling Illumination

The built-in ﬂash and optional SB-800, SB-600, and SB-R200 Speedlights emit a model- ing ﬂash when the camera depth-of-ﬁeld preview button is pressed. Modeling illumi- nation can be turned oﬀ using Custom Setting e4 (Modeling Flash; 166).

b3—EV Step ( 154)

This option can be used to set the increments for ﬂash compensation to / or 1 EV.
