In camera flsh comp. Does it affect the on board or external

[pnstenquist at comcast.net]

I've wondered myself whether the in-camera flash comp is just for the pop up. with my 540, I use the flash comp on the flash unit. However -1.5 or -2.0 is, in my experience, way too much for a strongly backlit subject. I generally go with -.5 or even straight up.
