You can also set the flash exposure compensation by pressing the n button, choosing [Flash Control] from the 4 tab, and then pressing the m button. Choose [Flash Exp.

Safety FE

The camera automatically changes the shutter speed or aperture value when the flash fires to avoid overexposing and blowing out the highlights in the scene. In the 4 tab, if [Safety FE] in [Flash Control] is set to [Off], the shutter speed and aperture value will not automatically adjust.
