Check that the CHARGED lamp is lit.
If the CHARGED lamp is out, the flash is not yet fully charged for firing.

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.
