JFlash Exp. Comp.

Flash compensation can be used to adjust flash output when the brightness of the main subject relative to the background needs to be changed.

When the Speedlight SB-400, SB-600, SB-800 or SB-900 flash unit (A180) is mounted on the camera, flash output for the Speedlight is adjusted.

-0.3 to -2.0

Flash output is reduced from -0.3 to -2.0 EV, in increments of 1/3 EV, to prevent unwanted highlights or reflections. Reduce flash output to prevent unwanted highlights.

0.0 (default setting)

Flash output is not adjusted.

+0.3 to +2.0

Flash output is increased from +0.3 to +2.0 EV, in increments of 1/3 EV, to make the main subject of the frame appear brighter.

At settings other than 0.0, the icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor during shooting (A8).

Specify whether or not the built-in flash fires when a flash unit mounted on the camera’s accessory shoe is not used (A180).

Auto (default setting)

When a flash unit is mounted, the flash fires. When there is no flash mounted on the accessory shoe, the built-in flash fires.
