The flash function contributes to having clearer images especially when shooting in low light. But sometimes you may not appreciate the light shining directly into your eyes when taking a photo. Thankfully, many cameras, even those on smartphones, give you the option of turning it off. If you are dealing with a canon rebel t7, this can be done easily as well.

You can turn off the flash on your Canon camera by following the steps below.

Access the camera’s menu system and navigate to the ‘settings’ menu. From the ‘settings’ menu, select the ‘Advanced’ option. There, you will see the item labeled ‘flash mode’. Press it and change it to off. Exit the ‘Advanced’ settings menu and save your changes.

How to Adjust Flash Power With Flash Exposure Compensation?

Anytime you are shooting with your built-in flash, the camera works to adjust the flash output as needed so it can achieve good exposure in the current lighting conditions.

Sometimes, however, you realize that you need a little more or a little less light than what the camera deems appropriate. Therefore, you can choose to adjust the flash output and this is made possible by a feature called flash exposure compensation.

Unlike exposure compensation, the flash exposure compensation feature affects the output level of the flash unit. The exposure compensation only affects the brightness of the background in your flash photos. The settings are stated in terms of Exposure value EV numbers.

Boosting the flash output may be necessitated on some occasions. Any built-in flash has a limited range and it is impossible for the flashlight to reach faraway objects. To enable the flash exposure compensation feature, display the shooting menu 2 and highlight the Flash Exp Comp option.

Press set to activate it and then press the left or right cross key to specify the amount of flash compensation. It is important to note that a higher value increases the flash output while a lower value reduces it.

To know whether your flash exposure compensation is activated, its corresponding icon will appear on the shooting settings display. You can also find the same plus/minus flash symbol when shooting in Live View and Viewfinder.

Remember that any flash power adjustment will remain in force until your reset the control, even if the camera was turned off at some point. Therefore, ensure that you always check the settings before you use the flash next.
