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.

Toward –: Makes the flash level lower.
Notes
• If you have adjusted the flash level,
flash is pulled up. When you adjust it, be careful not to forget to reset the value.
• The positive effect may not be visible due to the limited amount of flash light, if the
subject is at or around the maximum range for the flash. If the subject is very close,
the negative 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.
