(Cameras in Groups I thru III) Setting exposure compensation for flash The setting method varies depending on the camera. Cameras in Groups I and II Cameras with EV compensation control capability allow you to compensate flash exposure on either the SB-27 or the camera (or both.) If you use both controls, exposure is modified by the sum total of both exposure compensation values. For example, with a compensation of +1EV on the SB-27 and +1EV on the camera, the background will be +1EV and the flash output will be +2EV. Keep in mind that the SB-27's exposure compensation value indicator will not display the sum total of both compensation values. Only the compensation value set on the SB-27 is displayed.

Setting exposure compensation for flash
The setting method varies depending on the camera.
Cameras in Groups I and II
Cameras with EV compensation control capability allow you to
compensate flash exposure on either the SB-27 or the camera (or
both.) If you use both controls, exposure is modified by the sum
total of both exposure compensation values.
For example, with a compensation of +1EV on the SB-27 and +1EV
on the camera, the background will be +1EV and the flash output
will be +2EV. Keep in mind that the SB-27's exposure compensa-
tion value indicator will not display the sum total of both
compensation values. Only the compensation value set on the
SB-27 is displayed.
