When the flash output exceeds its maximum amount, the compensation will
not be effective even if the compensation value is set to the plus (+) side.
Compensating to the minus (–) side may not affect the image if the subject is
too close, the aperture value is small or sensitivity is high.
The flash output compensation is also effective for external flash units which
support P-TTL auto flash mode.
