I was wondering if anyone could tell me why I cannot control the flash exposure compensation on the 600EXRT from a 5Diii?
When I hit the ISO/FEC button, the option is not available.

When I hit the ISO/FEC button, the option is not available. Probably because the flash exposure compensation on the flash is not at 0.

I don't know about the flash though. abbadon31, the firmware you describe above was for the 5D MKIII... which allowed functionality of the flash, but not an update of firmware on the flash itself. I use manual exposure settings on the copy machine
