    Speedlight (when used as a transmitter) is independent of the Flash Exposure Compensation (FEC) on the FJ80 Speedlight (when used as a client). Meaning, a change of the FEC ±3 on the FJ-X2m or host FJ80 will adjust the light output in TTL mode; however, a client FJ80’s touchscreen will not visually indicate the FEC changes made on the FJ-X2m or host FJ80.
