Nikon SB-600 instruction manual Canceling flash output-level compensation

Exposure compensation and flash output-level compensation

●●● Flash output-level compensation

You can make exposure compensation for the flash-illuminated subject without affecting the background exposure by modifying the SB-600’s flash output level.

•Available in the TTL auto flash mode.

•Flash output-level compensation is only available with cameras compatible with CLS, digital SLRs not compatible with CLS, and cameras in Groups I to III.

•With F-601/N6006 and F-601M/N6000 cameras, make flash output-level compensation on the camera. Flash output-level compensation cannot be made on the SB-600.

The amount of compensation set on the camera does not appear on the SB-600’s LCD panel. For details, see your camera instruction manual.

•With SLR cameras that have a built-in Speedlight with an exposure compensation function, you can compensate the flash output level on either the camera or the SB-600. For details, see your camera instruction manual. If you use both controls, the exposure is modified by the sum total of both compensation values. In this case, the SB-600’s LCD panel shows only the compensation value set on the SB-600.
