I had a question about flash compensation. I ever took some pics in a museum using PZ-1p @ HyP mode with flash. When I got the processed pictures back, I found people's faces were over-exposured. I thought this is because the background was so dark and I should use flash compensation to correct the light emitted from the flash so that people's faces won't be over-exposured. So next time, I did that by using -1.0EV for flash compensation. But when I got the pictures, the same problem existed. I talked to a friend. He told me probably I shouldn't use flash compensation. Instead, I should use exposure compensation to correct the dark background. I haven't tried what he said yet. Can anyone let me know how I should do to get good results for this situation so that next time when I go there I know I'll be getting good pics?
