Most Nikon Z photographers know how to use exposure compensation—but many do not realize Custom Setting e3 can completely change how it works with flash.
In this video, I’ll show you how to set Exposure Comp. for Flash to Background Only, allowing you to darken or brighten the background without changing the TTL flash exposure on your subject.
This gives you more control, better subject separation, and more professional-looking flash photographs.
We’ll cover:
• Where to find Custom Setting e3
• The difference between Entire Frame and Background Only
• How exposure compensation affects the background
• How flash exposure compensation affects the subject
• How to use both settings together for better flash photography
