Flash Photography Support Functions

Flash exposure compensation

Exposure compensation for a flash-illuminated subject without affecting
background exposure can be achieved by adjusting the SB-5000's flash
output level.
• Some plus compensation may be necessary to make the main subject
brighter, and some minus compensation to make it darker.
• Flash exposure compensation is possible in i-TTL, auto aperture flash,
non-TTL auto flash and distance-priority manual flash modes.
