Set the flash compensation value by turning
the e-dial in the [Flash Mode] screen.
Pressing the | (Green) button returns the
flash exposure compensation to the default
value (0.0). (Available only when [Green
Button] is assigned to the | (Green) button in
[Green Button] of the [A Rec. Mode 4]
menu) (p.179).)
You can set the camera to enable shooting
while the flash is being charged.
Set [16. Release While Charging] to [On] in
the [A Custom Setting 3] menu (p.82).
By default, pictures cannot be taken while the
built-in flash is charging.
If the maximum flash output is exceeded when correcting to the plus (+) side,
the compensation will not be effective.
Compensating to the minus (–) side may not affect the image if the subject is
too close, the aperture value is small or sensitivity is high.
The flash compensation is also effective for external flash units which support
P-TTL auto flash mode.
