English term or phrase: flash output compensation
Definition from DPreview.com:
Flash output compensation is similar to exposure compensation and allows you to preset an adjustment value for the flash output power. Some digital cameras allow you to set this value using the familiar EV range (+/-2 EV), others simply have "high, normal, and low" settings. This feature is useful to compensate when the cameras flash metering was not perfect and caused under- or overexposure.

Example sentence(s):
  • Then, you can control flash output compensation by setting the required level on the external Speedlight (SB-600, SB-800, SB-900); the flash output compensation factor will not be overridden by the D3, allowing you to obtain repeatable flash exposures. Magic Lantern Guides, page 323
  • In AA mode, flash output compensation is possible in 1/3 steps from -3.0 to +1.0EV by pressing the { or } button to increase or decrease the compensation while confirming the amount on the LCD panel. Modern Classic SLRs Series
  • It is also possible to directly dial in flash output compensation in 1/3 stop increments, which is very precise and convenient as otherwise one would have to tweak aperture settings. Oleg Novikov Photography
