Flash Intensity Control - Olympus EVOLT E-500 Advanced Manual

Flash shooting

Flash intensity control

This adjusts the amount of light emitted by the flash.
In some situations (e.g., when shooting small subjects, distant backgrounds,
etc.), you may get better results by adjusting light emission. It is useful when
you intend to increase the contrast (distinction between light and dark) of
images to make the images more vivid.

TIPS
To call up the w setting screen quickly:
If you press the # (flash) switch and the F (exposure compensation) button
simultaneously, the w screen will appear. Use the control dial to set the
value.
• This does not work when the flash control mode on the electronic flash is set to
MANUAL.
• If light emission is adjusted on the electronic flash, it will be combined with the
camera's light emission setting.
• Exposure compensation is applied to flash intensity control. When [w+F] is set to
[ON], the exposure compensation value is applied to the light emission
compensation value.
