Adjusting The Amount Of Flash Light (Flash Compensation) - Sony Alpha DSLR-A330 Instruction Manual

Notes
• The histogram displayed in Live View mode does not indicate the final recorded
image. It indicates the condition of the image just monitored on the LCD monitor.
The histogram will differ based on aperture setting, etc.
• The histogram differs between shooting and playback in the following situations:
– When firing the flash.
– When the subject has low intensity, such as night scenery.

Adjusting the amount of flash light (Flash compensation)

When shooting with the flash, you can adjust the amount of flash light
alone, without changing the exposure compensation. You can only change
the exposure of a main subject which is within the flash range.

Notes
• This item cannot be set when the exposure mode is set to AUTO or Scene Selection.
• If you have adjusted the flash level,
viewfinder when the built-in flash is pulled up. When you adjust it, be careful not to
forget to reset the value.
• The higher flash effect may not be visible due to the limited amount of flash light, if
the subject is outside the maximum range of the flash. If the subject is very close, the
lower flash effect may not be visible.
Exposure compensation and flash compensation
Exposure compensation changes the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO sensitivity (when
[AUTO] is selected) to perform the compensation. If the flash is used, the amount of
flash light is also changed.
However, flash compensation only changes the amount of flash light.
