Adjusting the Flash Exposure Compensation
Just as with regular exposure compensation ( = 125), you can adjust the
flash exposure from –2 to +2 stops, in 1/3-stop increments.

the compensation level, and then press

• When there is a risk of overexposure, the camera automatically adjusts the
shutter speed or aperture value during the flash shots to reduce washed-
out highlights and shoot at optimal exposure. However, you can deactivate
automatic adjustment of the shutter speed and aperture value by accessing
< n> (= 48) and setting [Safety FE] in [Flash Control] on the [4] tab
to [Off].
• You can also configure the flash exposure compensation by choosing [ X]
in the FUNC. menu ( = 47), or by accessing (= 48) and
choosing [Flash Exp. Comp] in [Flash Control] on the [ 4] tab.
• You can also access the [Built-in Flash Settings] < n> screen as follows
(except when an optional external flash is mounted).
- Press and hold the < r> button for at least one second.
- When the flash is up, press the < r> button and immediately press the
< n> button.
