See “yFlash Exposure Compensation” on page 88.

E-TTL II

For normal flash exposures, set it to [Evaluative].

If [Average] is set, the flash exposure will be averaged for the entire metered scene as with an external metering flash. Since flash exposure compensation may be necessary depending on the scene, this setting is for advanced users.
