• m blinks in the viewfinder when the flash pops up during Flash Compensation. (p.20)

•If the maximum flash output is exceeded when corrected to the plus (+) side, no compensation will be effective.

•Compensating to the minus (–) side may not effect the image if the subject is too close, aperture is low or sensitivity is high.

•This flash compensation is also effective for external flash units which support P-TTL auto flash mode.
