Check points • The Exposure Compensation cannot be set in a or M exposure mode. • Once the Exposure Compensation is set in each P, S or A exposure mode, compensation remains in that exposure mode. Changing the exposure mode to M, a or Vari-Program temporarily cancels the compensation. • Exposure Compensation set in Vari-Program is cancelled when exposure mode is changed. • In any of the exposure modes, both flash output level for the flash illuminated subject and exposure on the background are bracketed when a Speedlight is used. www.mynikon.com.pl 65 ADVANCED OPERATION
