Flash compensation
The relative output of the flash can be compensated by
±2.0 Ev with the function button (p. 56). 
On the function-selection screen, use the up/down keys of
the controller to select exposure compensation and the
left/right keys to adjust the degree of compensation. Press
the central button of the controller to complete the
operation. 
Flash compensation
±0.0 Ev
:func.

When the camera flash is raised, the degree of flash
compensation is indicated by the Ev scale. 
When using fill-flash to reduce harsh shadows caused by
bright illumination or direct sunlight, flash compensation
can change the ratio between the highlights and shadows.
Fill flash affect the darkness of the shadows without
affecting the area illuminated by the main light source. 
–1.0 Ev flash compensation
By decreasing the flash output with a negative Ev setting, the shadows receive less light and are
darker, but subtle details in the shadows that would not appear without the flash are apparent.
Increasing the flash output by using a positive Ev setting softens and nearly eliminate shadows. 
Color mode
The color mode controls what the image looks like as well
as the color space. The color mode is set with the function
button (p. 56). The color mode can only be selected in P,
A, S, and M exposure modes. Except for the Abobe RGB
and embed Adobe RGB, all color modes use sRGB color
space. Some color modes use preset Digital Effects
Control values (p. 63); the default positions are indicated
by a thick index mark on the scale of the setting screen.
