Flash Photography Support Functions

Flash compensation

Exposure compensation for a fl ash-illuminated subject without affecting
background exposure can be achieved by adjusting the SB-910's fl ash output level.
• Some plus compensation may be necessary to make the main subject brighter,
and some minus compensation to make it darker.
• Flash compensation is possible in i-TTL, auto aperture flash, non-TTL auto flash
and distance-priority manual flash modes.
v
Canceling fl ash compensation
• To cancel, rotate the selector dial to return the compensation value to "0."
• Flash compensation cannot be canceled by simply turning the SB-910 off.
t
For digital SLR cameras with a built-in fl ash featuring the fl ash
compensation function
• The flash compensation can also be set on the digital SLR camera with a built-in
flash. For details, see the camera user's manual.
• If the flash is compensated on both the camera and the Speedlight, the flash
output is modified by the sum total of both compensation values. In this case, the
SB-910's LCD panel shows only the compensation value set on the SB-910.
