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.
