Bounce Flash so 5.6-2,1.1.1'•• Take the picture. • Focus the subject, check that the < icon is lit in the viewfinder, then take the picture. • If the flash exposure confirmation lamp does not light after the picture is taken, use a larger aperture and try again. • If the ceiling or wall is too far away, the flash reaching the subject may be insufficient, resulting in underexposure. • The bounce surface should be a solid, white color that can reflect light. If the bounce surface is not a solid, white color, the picture might have a color cast based on the bounce surface's color or pattern. Flash Exposure Compensation If you have an EOS camera that can set flash exposure compensation, you can apply flash exposure compensation to the 420EX. To set flash exposure compensation, refer to the camera's instruction booklet. • Flash exposure compensation can be set with the EOS-1V, EOS-1N, EOS-1N RS, EOS-3, EOS 5/A2/A2E, EOS 30/ELAN 7 E, EOS ELAN II/ELAN II E/50/50 E and EOS IX. 41
