1. Flash Exposure Compensation

The 540EZ incorporates a feature for compensating the flash exposure

independent of the camera exposure. The flash exposure can be com­
pensated up to +3 stops in 1/3-stop increments. By combining this capa­
bility with the camera’s exposure compensation function, you can fine

tune both the background exposure and the flash exposure to achieve a

perfect balance.

If flash exposure compensation is set on both the camera and the 540EZ, the
540EZ’s setting will override the camera setting.
Flash exposure compensation is not possible In Full Auto mode or
Programmed Image Control (PIC) modes.
