If flash exposure compensation has already been set with the Speedlite,
flash exposure compensation cannot be set with the camera. To set it with
the camera, first set the Speedlite's flash exposure compensation to zero.
If any Speedlite Custom Functions and flash function settings other than
flash exposure compensation have been set by both the camera and
Speedlite, the latest setting will take effect.
