It's not hard.
1. Select HyM mode.
2. Hit the IF button to set the exposure for the
background (or set it manually; your choice of meter
modes).
3. Pop up the flash (or turn on the flash, if it's
external).
4. The exposure compensation function now controls the
flash, not the background exposure. Adjust as desired.
5. Fire.
