background image

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.

Bounce Flash

To set the bounce direction, hold the flash head and turn it to a 
satisfying angle.

● 

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

reflectance. If the bounce surface is not white, a color cast 
may appear in the picture. 

● 

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

be too weak and result in underexposure.

ZOOM: Setting the Flash Coverage 

The flash coverage can be set automatically or manually. It can be 
set to match the lens focal length from 28mm to 105mm. 

● 

Turn the Select Dial to change 
the flash coverage.

In Manual Zoom mode, press the 
<ZOOM> button.

● 

    

If <  > is displayed, the flash 
coverage will be set 
automatically.

If you set the flash coverage manually, make sure it covers 
the lens focal length so that the picture will not have a dark 
periphery.

If the battery power is low, <

will appear and blink on the LCD 
panel. Please replace the battery 
immediately.
