You can also set the flash output level on the camera. For details, see your camera user’s manual.

sum total of both compensation values.

Making exposure compensation

Exposure compensation allows you to make both the subject and background brighter or darker by
intentionally modifying the correct flash exposure. This is useful when a subject of extremely high or low
reflectivity is included in the scene or when you want to create flash photographs to match your creative
preferences.
Some plus compensation may be necessary when the background includes a highly reflective surface.
Likewise, some minus compensation may be required when the background is dark or includes subjects of
low reflectivity.
