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.
