 I've read through the manual and couldn't find it. What if I am in (the
 manual)
 mode where I want to control the output of the (built-in) flash. How can I do
 it?
 Is it at all possible?
The old trick with being in manual mode and using normal exposure
compensation should work AFAIR :-)

 Hi!
 
 I've read through the manual and couldn't find it. What if I am

 How can I do

 Is it at all possible?
 
 Thanks.

RE: Flash output compensation on *istD

Here's a copy of my earlier post in case it didn't get to
the list:

I just took a series of shots using an M type lens at f5.6 and TTL
flash on the D in Manual Mode at 1/150 second and ISO 400.
I was about 4.5ft (1.5M) from the subject.
Used the pop up flash, room was very dimly lit.

At EC settings from -2.5 to +2.5 all of the shots are *uniformly*
overexposed.
What gives, does EC not affect TTL flash in manual?
What does one do in this situation?

TIA
Don
