You can make exposure compensation for the flash illuminated subject 
without affecting the background exposure by modifying the flash unit’s 
flash output level.

t Setting the flash output level compensation

As a basic guide, some plus compensation may be necessary to make the main 
subject brighter. Likewise, some minus compensation may be required to make 
the main subject darker.

Making exposure compensation for a flash illuminated main subject by adjusting 
the SB-910’s, SB-900’s, SB-800’s or Commander SU-800’s flash output level 
compensation value.

• Compensation values can be set in 1/3 step increments or decrements from +3.0 to 

-3.0 EV.

• Flash output level compensation cannot be canceled by turning the flash unit off. To 

cancel, return the compensation value to “0”.

• With SLR cameras featuring a built-in flash with an exposure compensation function, you 

can compensate the flash output level on either the camera or the SB-910, SB-900, 
SB-800 or SU-800 flash unit. (For details, see your camera’s user’s manual.) If you use 
both controls, the exposure is modified by the sum total of both compensation values.

• In this case, the LCD panel of the flash unit (SB-910, SB-900, SB-800 or SU-800) shows 

only the compensation value set on the flash unit (SB-910, SB-900, SB-800 or SU-800).

Making exposure compensation for only the flash illuminated subject by 
intentionally modifying the flash unit’s flash output level.

Depending on shooting circumstances, underexposure may occur. Using the 
TTL auto flash mode is recommended when using a camera compatible with TTL 
auto flash.
