Bounce flash
By directing the flash head towards a wall or ceiling, the flash can
be ‘bounced’ or reflected back onto the subject in order to reduce
shadow and obtain a more natural effect.
Adjust the flash head tilt, rotation angle and select
the reflection plane
Using the ceiling as the reflection
surface by tilting the flash head up to
point directly upwards is usually the
simplest and most effective way to
achieve good results. If holding the
camera on its side, you can rotate the
flash head by 90 degrees to obtain the
same effect.
The most effective distance between the flash head and reflection
plane is 1-2m, depending on the shooting environment. When
shooting colour photographs, choose a white or reflective surface to
avoid the colours appearing unnatural.
Using the built-in reflection card
When using a bounced flash technique, using the flash’s
built-in reflection card can make the subject appear
more bright and vital. It can also help to avoid lighting
foreground objects.
To pull out the reflection card, tilt the flash head up to
90 degrees, then pull out the wide diffusion plate as
well as the reflection card. Keeping the reflection card
pulled up, push the wide diffusion plate back into place.
