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 photo outdoors in the eve-
ning while retaining the same general lighting mood.
Factory setting:
0 EV
▸ Select Flash Settings in the main menu
▸ Select
Flash Exp. Compensation
• The submenu displays a scale with a red setting mark. The
function is deactivated if the value is set to 0 .
▸ Set the value on the scale
• The set value is displayed above the scale.
Notes
• The following applies for set compensation values, no matter how
they were initially set: They remain effective until they are manu-
ally reset to 0 , even if the camera is switched off and on again in
the meantime.
• The menu item
Flash Exp. Compensation can only be used in con-
junction with flash units on which the compensation value cannot
be set manually (e.g. Leica SF 26).
•
Flash Exp. Compensation is unavailable, if flash units with an own
compensation function are used (e.g. Leica SF 58 or Leica SF 60).
A compensation value set on the camera would in that case have
no effect.
• 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.
