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.

Notes
• The following applies for set compensation values, no matter
how they were initially set: They remain effective until they are
manually reset to
0
0
, i.e. even if the camera is switched off and
on again in the meantime.
• Changes to the
EV Increment
EV Increment
setting (see p. 79) lead to the
cancellation of a compensation that has been set, i.e. in such
cases it is automatically reset to
0
0
.
•
Flash Exp. Compensation
Flash Exp. Compensation
is not available if flash units with an
integrated compensation function are used, e.g. Leica SF 58.
• A compensation value configured on the camera will be
overruled when a relevantly equipped flash unit is attached, e.g.
a Leica SF 60 and a compensation value is entered on that flash
unit.
• The menu item
Flash Exp. Compensation
Flash Exp. Compensation
can only be used in
conjunction with flash units on which the compensation value
cannot be set manually (e.g. Leica SF 26).
• A brighter flash illumination with Plus compensation will require
a greater flash intensity. Flash exposure compensation will
therefore 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 SF 26, the compensation value must be set on the camera
via menu control.)
