Caution
When using bounce flash, the illumination coverage is fixed at
50 mm.
When the ceiling or walls are too far, the reflected light of the
flash may not be enough and the bounce flash may not be
effective.
If the ceiling or walls are not white, the reflected light may be
affected, taking their color.
If the reflected light is attenuated too much and the bounce
flash is not effective enough, select a higher ISO setting on
the camera.
Catch-li ght panel
When using bounce flash, you can also use the catch-light panel
at short distance to direct some of the light at a human subject,
adding a glint in their eyes and brightening their expression.
When you pull out the wide panel,
the catch-light panel will be pulled
out at the same time. Push the wide
panel back inside.
When using the catch-light panel, set
the flash head upwards at a 90˚ and
use bounce flash. •
