Allowing Shooting While Charging The Flash - Pentax K-x Operating Manual

Set the flash compensation value by turning
the e-dial in the [Flash Mode] screen.
Pressing the | (Green) button returns the
flash exposure compensation to the default
value (0.0). (Available only when [Green
Button] is assigned to the | (Green) button in
[Green Button] of the [A Rec. Mode 4]
menu) (p.179).)
• If the maximum flash output is exceeded when correcting to the plus (+) side,
the compensation will not be effective.
• Compensating to the minus (–) side may not affect the image if the subject is
too close, the aperture value is small or sensitivity is high.
• The flash compensation is also effective for external flash units which support
P-TTL auto flash mode.
