When [Flash Adjust] is set to [Auto], settings can be
adjusted in 1/3-stop increments in the range of –2 stops
to +2 stops.
You can combine flash exposure compensation with the
camera's exposure compensation function for ambient
light to achieve creative effects.
In M mode or when [Flash Adjust] is set to [Manual], the
flash output can be controlled in three steps, starting
from FULL, when shooting. This setting is also effective
for slave flash photography where multiple flashes are
fired at the subject from different positions because the
pre-flash does not fire. When an externally mounted
flash is attached, its flash output can be controlled (Up to
1/16 from Full, in 1/3 steps).
