output level.
When you rotate the selector dial clockwise, the indicated denominator

When you rotate the selector dial counterclockwise, the indicated denominator
increases (flash output level decreases).
The flash output level changes in ±1/3 steps except between 1/1 and 1/2. 1/32
(-0.3) and 1/64 (+0.7) represent the same flash output level.
In default setting, flash output level compensation between 1/1 and 1/2 is ±1
step. This step can be changed to ±1/3 using custom setting (
