Flash Compensation - Nikon D300 User Manual

Flash compensation is used to alter flash output by from -3 EV to
+1 EV in increments of
1/3 EV,
changing the brightness of the main
subject relative to the background. Flash output can be increased
to make the main subject appear brighter, or reduced to prevent
unwanted highlights or reflections.
Press the _ button and rotate
the sub-command dial until the
desired value is displayed in the
control panel. In general, choose
positive values to make the main
subject brighter, negative values
to make it darker.
