Adjust exposure compensation and flash intensity
Exposure compensation affects the brightness of subject and background simultaneously. flash, on the
other hand, typically brightens only the subject while leaving the background as is. By increasing or
decreasing light from the flash unit (flash intensity), you can control subject brightness. By adjusting
both exposure compensation and flash intensity, you can shoot photos with perfectly exposed subjects
and backgrounds.
