If you set flash exposure compensation with both the EX-series Speedlite and 
camera, the Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation setting will override the 
camera’s. If you set EX-series Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation with the 
flash, any flash exposure compensation set with the camera will be overridden.
 
The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after the 
<4> switch is set to <2>.
 
The procedure is the same when using an EX-series Speedlite. The 
Speedlite’s flash exposure compensation can be set with the camera.
