• Flash exposure compensation
  This is a good condition for such as; you’d like to reduce the flash light to be overexposed by the flash, or a case in which you’d like to use an auxiliary light to make less of a shadow on the subject in backlit conditions.
• You can choose how the flash synchronizes with the shutter by selecting [1st Curtain] or [2nd Curtain].
