Functions Bounce Flash Operation Setting flash head tilting/rotating angles, and choosing a reflecting surface • Good results are most easily achieved when the flash head is tilted up to use the ceiling as a reflecting surface. • Rotate the flash head horizontally to get the same effect when the camera is held in the vertical position. • Illumination can be softened further when the light is bounced off a ceiling or wall behind the camera, as opposed to in front of the camera. • Select white or highly reflective surfaces to bounce the light off. Otherwise, image colors will be influenced by the color of the reflecting surface. • Take care not to let light from the flash unit illuminate the subject directly. E • The effective distance between the flash head and the reflecting surface is approx. 1 m to 2 m (3.3 ft to 6.6 ft) depending on photographic conditions. • If the reflecting surface is not close enough, a piece of A4-size white paper can be used instead. Please check the subject is exposed to the bounced light before taking a picture. E-7
