I am having a senior moment and need your help

How do I adjust flash exposure comp. to reduce amount of flash from GX7 when taking photo of people like in living room or restaurant?

I use P mode, and people are overexposed by the flash

I cannot find in the GX7 menu settings to adjust flash +/-.

What PASM mode do you suggest to use for reducing or increasing flash output.

Can you adjust exposure comp, and flash expose comp together to make exposure balance?

Thank you.

Flash Adjust is a feature which can be assigned to any of the fn keys or in the Q.Menu. Select the feature and can start to adjust +/- to the output.

However, you must use M-shutter otherwise the feature will be gray out.

We can use both EC (in case of TTL mode) and Flash Adjust to control flash output. But likely Flash Adjust would be more effective.
