Adjusting The Flash Exposure Compensation; Shooting With The Fe Lock - Canon PowerShot SX50 HS User Manual

Flash

Adjusting the Flash Exposure Compensation

Just as with regular exposure compensation (= 1 15), you can adjust the
flash exposure from –2 to +2 stops, in 1/3-stop increments.
• When there is a risk of overexposure, the camera automatically adjusts the
shutter speed or aperture value during the flash shots to reduce washed-
out highlights and shoot at optimal exposure. However, you can deactivate
automatic adjustment of the shutter speed and aperture value by accessing
<n> (= 4 2) and setting [Safety FE] in [Flash Control] on the [4] tab
to [Off].
• You can also configure the flash exposure compensation by accessing
<n> (= 4 2) and choosing [Flash Exp. Comp] in [Flash Control] on
the [4] tab.
•
You can also access the [Built-in Flash Settings] <n> screen as follows
(except when an optional external flash is mounted).
- Press and hold the <h> button for at least one second.
- When the flash is up, press the <h> button and immediately press the
<n> button.

Shooting with the FE Lock

Just as with the AE lock (= 1 15), you can lock the exposure for the flash
shots.
