Choose ~.

After pressing the m button, press the op buttons to choose ~.

Make the setting.

Press the qr buttons or turn the  dial

to choose the flash exposure compensation, then press the m button.

X~ will appear on the screen.

To set the flash exposure compensation, choose [Flash Control] (p. 97) from the 4 tab, then choose [Flash Exp. Comp] and press the qr buttons to choose a setting (p. 49).

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.
