Flash Exposure Compensation
With flash exposure compensation, you can change the correct exposure 
computed by the Speedlight and camera. For example, you can highlight the 
main subject by increasing the flash output, or prevent the main subject 
from becoming too bright by decreasing the flash output.
1. Press and hold 
 and rotate the Main-Command dial until the 
desired compensation value appears (-3EV to +1EV in 1/2 steps).
Tips:
• When flash exposure compensation is set, 
 appears in the 
Top Status LCD and viewfinder. You can check the compensation 
value by pressing 
.
• Normally you should compensate exposure to the + side when the 
background is brighter than your main subject, or to the - side 
when the background is darker.
2. Press the Flash Lock-Release button to release the Speedlight. Set the 
Flash Sync mode and Exposure mode.
3. Compose the picture, focus, and confirm that 
 appears in the 
viewfinder. Be sure the subject is within the flash shooting distance 
range, then capture the image.
To cancel flash exposure compensation, press 
 to reset the 
compensation value to 0.0. Alternatively, you can perform Two-Button 
Reset. Turning off the camera does not cancel the flash exposure 
compensation function.
