If [z2: Auto Lighting Optimizer] (p.175) is set to any setting other than 
[Disable], the image may still look bright even if a decreased flash 
exposure compensation is set.

 

If flash exposure compensation is set with an external Speedlite (sold 
separately, p.259), you cannot set the flash exposure compensation with 
the camera. If it is set with both the camera and Speedlite, the 
Speedlite’s setting overrides the camera’s.

 

The exposure compensation amount will remain in effect even after you 
set the power switch to <2>.

 

You can also set flash exposure compensation with [Built-in flash 
settings] under [z1: Flash control] (p.262).

 

The camera can also be used to set the EOS-dedicated, external Speedlite’s 
flash exposure compensation in the same way as with the built-in flash.
