Adjusting the Flash Exposure Compensation
Still Images
Movies
Just as with regular exposure compensation (= 69), you can adjust the
flash exposure from -2 to +2 stops, in 1/3-stop increments.
●
Raise the flash, press the [ ] button and
immediately turn the [
] dial to choose
the compensation level, and then press
the [ ] button.
●
Once the setting is complete, [ ] is
displayed.
●
When there is a risk of overexposure, the camera automatically
adjusts the shutter speed or aperture value during the flash shots
to reduce washed-out highlights and shoot at optimal exposure.
However, you can deactivate automatic adjustment of the shutter
speed and aperture value by accessing MENU (= 29) and
choosing [
] tab > [Flash Settings] > [Safety FE] > [Off].
●
You can also configure the flash exposure compensation by
accessing MENU (= 29) and choosing [
] tab > [Flash
Settings] > [Flash Exp. Comp].
●
You can also access the [Flash Settings] MENU screen (= 29)
when the flash is up by pressing the [ ] button and immediately
pressing the [
] button.
Auto
Fires automatically in low-light conditions.
On
Fires for each shot.
Slow Synchro
Fires to illuminate the main subject (such as people) while shooting at a
slower shutter speed to illuminate backgrounds out of flash range.
●
In [ ] mode, mount the camera on a tripod or take other
measures to keep it still and prevent camera shake. Additionally,
you should set [IS Mode] to [Off] when using a tripod or other
means to secure the camera (= 53).
●
In [ ] mode, even after the flash fires, ensure that the main
subject does not move until the shutter sound is finished playing.
Off
For shooting without the flash.
●
A blinking [ ] icon may be displayed when you press the shutter
button halfway in camera-shake inducing, low-light conditions. In
this case, mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures
to keep it still.
