Flash Exposure Compensation
I Flash exposure compensation lets you intentionally change the correct

you can highlight the main subject by increasing the flash output or
prevent the main subject from becoming too bright by decreasing the
flash output.
I Set flash exposure compensation by rotating the
Main-Command Dial while pressing the flg) button
