Combination of Exposure Compensation and Flash Exposure Compensation

with the flash exposure compensation, such as making the background brighter
and preventing unwanted flash reflections from the subject.
For instance, set the exposure compensation to +2 and the flash exposure
compensation to –2, and the background exposure will be 2 stops over exposed
and the flash exposure be 0 (appropriate).

be displayed in the viewfinder display, only the exposure compensation amount
will be displayed.
