Flash exposure compensation
Exposure compensation for a flash-illuminated subject without affecting
background exposure can be achieved by adjusting the SB-5000’s flash
output level.
• Some plus compensation may be necessary to make the main subject
brighter, and some minus compensation to make it darker.
• Flash exposure compensation is possible in i-TTL, auto aperture flash,
non-TTL auto flash and distance-priority manual flash modes.
Press the rotary multi selector
1 to highlight the flash
compensation value.
• The flash compensation value is
not displayed when 0 is set.
Use the rotary multi selector
to choose the desired flash
compensation value.
• The compensation value can be
set in 1/3 EV steps from +3.0 EV to
−3.0 EV.
Press the OK button.
• Flash compensation value can also be
configured in
menu (0B-11).
