Flash compensation changes the ratio between the ambient and flash exposures. When using fill-

flash to reduce harsh shadows caused by direct sunlight, flash compensation changes the ratio

between the highlights and shadows. The flash affects the darkness of the shadows without affect-

ing the area illuminated by the sun. By decreasing the flash output with a negative Ev setting, the

shadows receive less light and are deeper, but retain detail that would be lost without the flash.

Using a positive Ev setting will soften or eliminate shadows.

Center weighted: a traditional metering method in film cameras. The system measures light

values over the entire image area with emphasis given the central region.

Spot metering: uses a small area within the image to calcu-

late the exposure. A small circle appears in the middle of the

live image indicating the measuring area. The spot allows

precise exposure measurements of a particular object with-

out being influenced by extremely bright or dark areas within

the scene.

Multi-segment metering: uses 256 segments to measure luminance and color. This data is

combined with distance information to calculate the camera exposure. This advanced meter-

ing system will give accurate worry-free exposures in almost all situations.

Metering mode indicators are displayed on the monitor. The metering mode is set in section 2 of the

P, A, S, and M menus (p. 44).
