Using a Flash
When an optional flash unit is used, exposure compensation affects both
flash level and exposure, altering the brightness of both the main subject
and the background. Custom Setting e3 [Exposure comp. for flash] can
be used to restrict the effects of exposure compensation to the
background only.
