Flash Compensation (P, S, A, M, and SCENE Modes Only)

Flash compensation is used to alter flash output by from –3EV to +1EV in increments of 1/3 EV, changing the brightness of the main subject relative to the background. Flash output can be increased to make the main subject appear brighter, or reduced to prevent unwanted highlights or reflections.
