Bounce Flash

With this flash unit, you can tilt and swivel the flash head to aim

at the ceiling or wall to bounce the flash before it reaches the

subject. Doing so creates softer light and shadows to make the

picture look more natural. Bouncing the flash will decrease the

flash intensity by the time it reaches the subject. Therefore, this

function is effective when photographing in P-TTL mode at

short distances. The bounce angle can be set to the following

angles.

* The LED beam turns on when the catchlight is enabled in the

function menu and the bounce flash is used. (Refer to page 37.)

• A click stop is provided for each bounce angle.

• Press and hold the bounce lock release button to tilt the flash

head when you want to change the bounce angle from 0°

(upward/downward).

• When using bounce flash, will be displayed on the LCD

panel.

• The effective flash range will be displayed only when the

bounce angle is set at -10°.

• It is recommended to set the bounce angle at -10° to prevent

uneven exposure when the distance to the subject is within

1 m.
