Adjusting the Flash Exposure
Compensation
Just as with exposure compensation (p. 78), you can adjust the exposure
from –2 to +2 stops in 1/3-stop increments when using the flash.
Safety FE
The camera automatically changes the shutter speed or aperture value when the
flash fires to avoid overexposing and blowing out the highlights in the scene.
However, if you press the n button to display the 4 tab and set [Safety FE]
in [Flash Control] to [Off], the shutter speed and aperture value will not
automatically adjust.
•
You can also set the flash exposure compensation by pressing the
n button to choose [Flash Control] (p. 99) in the 4 tab, then choose
[Flash Exp. Comp] and press the qr buttons to choose a setting.
If you hold down the h button for more than 1 second, the setting screen
•
will appear. If you press the h button then immediately press the n
button when the flash is raised, the setting screen will appear.
Shooting with Slow Synchro
You can make the main subject, such as people, appear bright by having the
camera provide the appropriate illumination with the flash. At the same time,
you can use a slow shutter speed to brighten the background that the light
from the flash cannot reach.
