NS-DXFL2C External TTL Flash for Canon™

www.insigniaproducts.com

Using bounce flash

By pointing the flash head toward a wall or ceiling, the flash bounces off of 
the surface before illuminating the subject. This can soften shadows 
behind the subject for a more natural-looking shot. This is called bounce 
flash.
• Hold the flash head and turn it to the angle you want.

Notes

• If the wall or ceiling is too far away, the bounced flash 

might be too weak and may result in underexposure.

• The wall or ceiling should be a plain, white color for high 

reflectance. If the bounce surface is not white, the 
surface color may affect the picture.
