Flash Exposure Compensation

If [
z
2: Auto Lighting Optimizer
] (p.169) is set to any setting other than
[
Disable
], 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.209), 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.
