Setting flash exposure compensation on
standard SCA 3002 flash units
With SCA 3002 standard flash units, flash expo-
sure compensation settings must be made directly
on the unit. For details of the settings and the
corresponding flash unit displays, please refer to
the respective instructions.
In all cases, a
or
finder to the right of the flash symbol to indicate
that a flash exposure compensation has been
set.
Setting flash exposure compensation on the
camera in exposure mode m
The manual setting – and therefore fixing – of
the shutter speed and aperture in the camera's
m mode defines the exposure of the ambient
light. As a consequence, in this case, apart from
the light balance display in the viewfinder, an
exposure compensation using the selector (1.26)
on the camera – after adjusting the exposure -
only influences the flash exposure.

Automatic program mode P and TTL flash
operation
Automatic program mode P offers fully automatic
co-ordination of the available light and the light
from the flash with optimised control for balanced
photographs by increasing the proportion of
available light and reducing the proportion of
flash light depending on the situation. Alterna-
tively, manual flash exposure compensation
