Notes:
• Brighter flash illumination selected using a positive compensati-
on requires a higher flash power, and vice versa. Therefore, flash
exposure compensation has a more or less significant impact on
the flash range: A positive compensation reduces the range, whi-
le a negative compensation increases it.
• A compensation setting remains active until it is reset to ±0 (see
step 2.), i.e. after any number of pictures and even after turning
off the camera.
