Bounce Flash
By pointing the flash head toward a wall or ceiling, the flash will
bounce off the surface before illuminating the subject. This can
soften shadows behind the subject for a more natural-looking
shot. This is called bounce flash.
To set the bounce direction, hold the flash head and turn it
to a satisfying angle.

-7-90
• If the wall or ceiling is too far away, the bounced flash
might be too weak and result in underexposure.
• The wall or the ceiling should be a plain, white color for
high reluctance. If the bounce surface is not white, a
color cast may appear in the picture.
Creating a Catchlight
With the catchlight panel, you can create a catchlight in the
subject’s eyes to add life to the facial expression.
1
Point the flash head upward
by 90°.
2
Pull out the wide panel. The
catchlight panel will come
out at the same time.
3
Push the wide panel back in.
• Push in only the wide
panel.
• Follow the same proce-
dures as for bounce flash.
• Point the flash head straight ahead and then upward
by 90°. The catchlight will not appear if you swing the
flash head left or right.
• For best catchlight effect, stay 1.5m/4.9ft away from
the subject.
