Flash Exposure Compensation - Leica SF 60 Instruction Manual

FLASH EXPOSURE COMPENSATION

APPLYING FLASH UNIT SETTINGS
A flash exposure compensation value set on the flash unit will
aways be applied. A compensation value set on the camera may
therefore be ignored.
▸ Turn the setting wheel until the desired compensation value is
displayed on the LCD panel
– Dark subject in front of a bright background:
positive exposure value (EV)
– Bright subject in front of a dark background:
negative exposure value (EV)
APPLYING CAMERA SETTINGS
The flash unit must not have a flash exposure compensation value
set if you want to set a compensation value on the camera.
▸ Turn the setting wheel to the exposure compensation value 0.0 0.0
▸ Set the desired flash exposure compensation value on the
camera
Notes
• Reset the flash exposure compensation value back to 0.0 0.0 for
"raw" flash exposures.
• It is not possible to correct flash illumination by simply changing
the lens aperture size, as the automatic exposure function of the
camera will compensate with a higher or lower flash output.
• The flash exposure range changes as follows when a compensa-
tion value is set:
Positive exposure compensation value
Negative exposure compensation value
