Bounce lighting

When lighting a subject in front of the

wall, an unnecessary sharp shadow

may appear on the wall behind the

subject resulting in a disappointing

picture. Bounce the light off the ceiling

or wall to soften the light on the subject,

and the shadow will fade.

The flash head turns upward to 45° >60° >75° >90°.

Or mixing it upward/ sideways, you can set it in multiple directions as shown.

When the flash head stays at turning or tilting position, the zoom setting

position of i400 is automatically set at the position for a 50mm focal length lens.

The wall or ceiling in this case should be a flat surface and white color is

preferable. Colored ceiling or wall may reflect its color on the subject.

AF assist light emitter

Under a low light condition, or in a dark place, the AF assist light will

automatically emit the beam and illuminate the subject, so that the camera

can easily focus on the subject in darkness. The beam is however not

shown in the picture.
