Flash Intensity Control - Olympus E-3 Instruction Manual

Flash intensity control

The flash intensity can be adjusted from +3 to –3.
In some situations (e.g., when shooting small subjects, distant backgrounds, etc.), you may get
better results by adjusting the amount of light emitted by the flash ("flash intensity"). It is useful
when you intend to increase the contrast (distinction between light and dark) of images to make
the images more vivid.
