m Bounce Since the flash guide number decreases in bounce shooting, focusing with AFassist beam using a series of small flashes may not be possible. During bounce shooting, using infrared AF-assist beam is recommended (P.Fn-05-1/p.87). Catchlight Shooting Using the catchlight panel when shooting a portrait enables you to capture reflected light in a person's eyes and create a more vivid expression. 1 Turn the flash head 90° up. 2 Pull up the wide panel. Pull up the protruding area located in the center of the wide panel. X The white catchlight panel is pulled out at the same time. 3 Push back the wide panel. Push back the wide panel only, keeping just the catchlight panel upward. Shoot using the same method as bounce shooting. Position the flash head toward the front and 90° up. When the flash head is rotated to the left or right, the catchlight is not very effective. To effectively obtain the catchlight in a person's eyes, shoot within approx. 1.5 m/4.9 ft. (at ISO 100) from the subject. Do not pull up the wide panel with excessive force. Doing so may detach the wide panel from the Speedlite. 29

Catchlight Shooting
Since the flash guide number decreases in bounce shooting, focusing with AF-
assist beam using a series of small flashes may not be possible. During bounce
shooting, using infrared AF-assist beam is recommended (P.Fn-05-1/p.87).
Position the flash head toward the front and 90° up. When the flash head
is rotated to the left or right, the catchlight is not very effective.
To effectively obtain the catchlight in a person’s eyes, shoot within
approx. 1.5 m/4.9 ft. (at ISO 100) from the subject.
Do not pull up the wide panel with excessive force. Doing so may detach
the wide panel from the Speedlite.
