6.3 Flash exposure correction (EV)
Manual flash exposure correction (EV) can help offset extreme differences in
contrast between the subject and background. Corrections from -3 f-stops (EV) to
+3 f-stops (EV) can be made, in 1/3 increments (also see 11.5).
Flash exposure correction is only activated in the TTL and P-TTL flash
modes if the camera supports this function (see the camera's operating
instructions)! Flash exposure correction is activated in automatic flash
mode A irrespective of the camera model!
Setting procedure:
• Press the „Para“ button (Parameters) until „EV“ flashes on the LC display.
• Set the desired EV value using the +/— buttons. The setting takes effect imme-
diately.
• Press the „Return“ button to change the LC display back to the normal
view. If the „Return“ button is not pressed, the display will change back to
the normal view after about 5 seconds.
