Press the shutter release button down all the way.
MEMO
• The best recommended angle for bouncing light is 60˚.
• You can check whether the flash fired correctly or not after the picture is taken. If the
AUTO CHECK lamp blinks for 5 seconds after the shutter release button has been
pressed down all the way, the flash fired correctly.
• To bounce light in photographs, set the camera to the P or A shooting mode.
• If the flash does not fire correctly, move closer to the subject, or set the camera to the A
shooting mode and widen the aperture.
• Focal range is shorter in bounced light photography than when flashing straight on the
subject.
