Flash output level: large

Selector dial rotated

counterclockwise

Selector dial rotated

clockwise

Flash output level: small

When the selector dial is rotated counterclockwise, the indicated denominator

increases (flash output level decreases). When the selector dial is rotated
clockwise, the indicated denominator decreases (flash output level increases).
The flash output level changes in ±1/3 EV steps except between 1/1 and 1/2.

1/32 −0.3 and 1/64 +0.7 represent the same flash output level.
In default setting, the flash compensation step between 1/1 and 1/2 is ±1 EV

step. This step can be changed to ±1/3 EV steps in the custom settings (0B-17).
With some cameras, and when using higher shutter speeds with a flash output
level higher than M1/2, actual flash output may decrease to M1/2 level.
