Just as with regular exposure compensation (=69), you can adjust the flash exposure from –2 to +2 stops, in 1/3-stop increments.

However, you can deactivate automatic adjustment of the shutter speed and aperture value by accessing MENU (=24) and choosing [4] tab > [Flash Settings] > [Safety FE] > [Off].

•You can also configure the flash exposure compensation by accessing MENU

(=24) and choosing [4] tab > [Flash Settings] > [Flash Exp. Comp].

•You can also access the [Flash Settings] MENU screen (=24) when the flash is up by pressing the <r> button and immediately pressing the <n> button.
