Using the flash band compensation function

The flash band compensation function is activated when there are large changes in brightness at the bottom of the screen regardless of whether there is flash strobe light. The flash band compensation function may be activated depending on the shooting environment such as where a bright window has zoomed in and then out. So, we recommend use of this function in shooting environments where flash strobe lighting is anticipated.

Even if flash strobe lighting occurs, sufficient flash band compensation function effect may not be obtained in some shooting environments.

Flash band compensation function operation conditions

  • The flash band compensation function can be used under the conditions that electronic shutter and digital super gain functions are all not operating.

  • Even if the flash band compensation function is enabled, the flash band compensation function is temporarily disabled if the camera is changed to a mode where the flash band compensation function cannot be used.

    When using the function again, return to a mode that can use the flash band compensation function. Flash band compensation function will be automatically enabled.

    The flash band compensation function is disabled once the power is turned off.
