■■■ Setting the flash output level

Press the g button to highlight the flash output level display. The flash output level changes every time you press the e or f button as shown below.

When you press the f button:

∞1/1 ∞ 1/2 ∞ 1/2 (–1/3) ∞ 1/2 (–2/3) ∞ 1/4 1/128 ... 1/4 (–2/3) ± 1/4 (–1/3) ±

When you press the e button:

∞1/128 ∞ 1/128 (+1/3) ∞ 1/128 (+2/3) ∞ 1/64 1/1 ± 1/2 ... 1/64 (+2/3) ± 1/64 (+1/3)±

•The numbers in parentheses represent the adjustable flash output level in ±1/3 steps except between 1/1 and 1/2. Therefore, 1/32 (-1/3) and 1/64 (+2/3) represent the same flash output level.

•To extend the flash shooting distance, choose a flash output level close to M1/1.
