If [8 .Fn II -4: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.177) has been enabled, the effect of the exposure compensation and flash exposure compensation might be minimized. Set it to [3: Disable] if you want to obtain the best results of the exposure compensation setting.

If you set flash exposure compensation with both the EX-series Speedlite and camera, the Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation setting will override the camera’s. If you set EX-series Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation with the Speedlite, any flash exposure compensation set with the camera will be overridden.

The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after you set the power switch to <2>.

The procedure is the same when using an EX-series Speedlite. The Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation can be set with the camera.
