Flash Exposure Compensation - Leica SL2 Instruction Manual

FLASH EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

This function can be used to selectively reduce or enhance flash
exposure regardless of ambient light, e.g. to brighten the face of a
person in the foreground when taking a picture outdoors in the
evening while retaining the same general lighting mood.

conjunction with flash units on which the compensation value
cannot be set manually (e.g. Leica SF 26).
• A brighter flash illumination with Plus compensation will require
a greater flash intensity. Flash exposure compensation will
therefore impact on the flash range: A Plus correction will
decrease it, a Minus correction will increase it.
• An exposure compensation set on the camera will only affect
the measurement of ambient light. If a simultaneous TTL flash
exposure metering compensation is desired in flash mode, then
it must be additionally set on the flash unit. (Exception: On the
Leica SF 26, the compensation value must be set on the camera
via menu control.)
