does not come out as desired. You can set flash exposure
compensation up to ±3 stops in 1/3-stop increments.

amount.
While looking at the LCD panel or
through the viewfinder, turn the <5>

To make the flash exposure brighter,

y Flash Exposure CompensationN
Increased exposure for a brighter image
Decreased exposure for a darker image
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.
