Flash exposure compensation
Flash exposure compensation can be used to increase or 
reduce flash output from the level chosen by the camera’s 
flash control system. Flash output can be increased to 
make the main subject appear brighter, or reduced to 
prevent unwanted highlights or reflections. 
While pressing 
, rotate the sub-command dial and 
confirm flash exposure compensation in the control panel 
or viewfinder.
Flash exposure compensation can be set to values 
between –3 EV (darker) and +1 EV (brighter) in 
increments of 1/3 EV.
See p.78 for details of flash shooting.
• At values other than ±0, a 
 icon will be displayed in 
the control panel and viewfinder after you release 
.
• As a rule of thumb, positive compensation may be 
needed when the main subject is darker than the 
background, negative compensation when the main 
subject is brighter than the background.
To release flash exposure compensation
Normal flash output can be restored by setting flash exposure 
compensation to ±0.0 or performing a two-button reset. Flash 
exposure compensation is not reset when the camera is 
turned off.
MEMO
Flash exposure compensation is also available when a 
Nikon SB-800 or SB-600 Speedlight is attached.
