FLASH EXPOSURE COMPENSATION
This function can be used to selectively reduce or enhance flash
exposure regardless of ambient light, e.g. to brighten the face of a
person in the foreground when taking a picture outdoors in the
evening while retaining the same general lighting mood.
Factory setting: 0 EV0 EV
▸ Select Flash SettingsFlash Settings in the main menu
▸ Select Flash Exp. CompensationFlash Exp. Compensation
• The submenu displays a scale with a red setting mark. The
function is deactivated if the value is set to 00.
▸ Set the value on the scale
• The set value is displayed above the scale.
• The available values depend on the global setting EV IncrementEV Increment
(see p.81).
Notes
• The following applies for set compensation values, no matter
how they were initially set: They remain effective until they are
manually reset to 00, i.e. even if the camera is switched off and
on again in the meantime.
• Changes to the EV IncrementEV Increment setting (see p. 81) lead to the
cancellation of a compensation that has been set, i.e. in such
cases it is automatically reset to 00.
• A compensation value configured on the camera will be
overruled when a relevantly equipped flash unit is attached, e.g.
a Leica SF60 and a compensation value is entered on that flash
unit.
• The menu item Flash Exp. CompensationFlash Exp. Compensation can only be used in
conjunction with flash units on which the compensation value
cannot be set manually (e.g. Leica SF26).
• A brighter flash illumination with Plus compensation will require
a greater flash intensity. Flash exposure compensation will there-
fore impact on the flash range: A Plus correction will decrease it,
a Minus correction will increase it.
• An exposure compensation set on the camera will only affect
the measurement of ambient light. If a simultaneous TTL flash
exposure metering compensation is desired in flash mode, then
it must be additionally set on the flash unit. (Exception: On the
Leica SF26, the compensation value must be set on the camera
via menu control.)
