Flash Compensation
Flash compensation can be used to adjust the level of the master and remote flash units by from −3 to +1 EV in steps of 1/3 EV. To choose a value for flash compensation, press the W (M) button and rotate the sub-command dial until the desired value is displayed in the control panel.

When the master flash or a remote flash is set to TTL or qA and flash compensation to a value other than ±0.0, a Y icon will be displayed in the control panel and viewfinder and the current value for flash compensation can be viewed by pressing W (M). Normal flash output can be restored by setting flash compensation to ±0.0. Flash compensation is not reset when the camera is turned off.
