bright.
• Check camera exposure settings, including whether the
limits of the camera exposure system have been exceeded.
See the camera manual for details.
• Reduce  ash compensation (TTL mode;
P
29) or  ash
output (manual mode;
P

some subjects may appear bright due to their re ectivity
or color. If reducing  ash compensation does not have the
desired e ect, try moving away from the subject, reducing
ISO sensitivity, or reducing aperture by choosing a higher
f-number. See the camera manual for details.
