Flash compensation is used to alter flash output from the level suggested by the 
camera, changing the brightness of the main subject relative to the background. 
Flash output can be increased to make the main subject appear brighter, or reduced 
to prevent unwanted highlights or reflections (

0 261).

Keep the 

M (Y) and E (N) buttons 

pressed and rotate the command dial 
until the desired value is selected in 
the viewfinder or information display. 
In general, positive values make the 
main subject seem brighter while 
negative values make it seem darker. 
Normal flash output can be restored 
by setting flash compensation to ±0. 
Flash compensation is not reset when 
the camera is turned off.
