Using the Built-in Flash
If the subject is at the edge of the screen, and you use flash, the subject
may turn out to be too bright or dark depending on the background, etc.
Use FE lock in such a case. After setting the flash output for the
appropriate subject brightness, you can recompose (put the subject
toward the side) and shoot. This feature can also be used with a Canon
EX-series Speedlite.
* FE stands for Flash Exposure.

], the image may still look bright even if a decreased flash
exposure compensation is set.
If flash exposure compensation is set with an external Speedlite (sold
separately, p.187), you cannot set the flash exposure compensation with
the camera (Quick Control or External flash function settings). If it is set
with both the camera and external Speedlite, the Speedlite’s setting
overrides the camera’s.
The compensation amount will be retained even after you set the power
switch to <
