Manual Switching of Firing angle (ZOOM)

The firing angle can be adjusted manually.

Close-up Flash

The flash activation area is inaccurate when the subject distance is between 0.5 and 1.5 meter. In
this case, point the flash to the down-most angle (7˚) using the Bounce lock release button.

(0.5〜1.5m)

1.

While holding the Bounce lock release button, tilt the flash
to the down-most angle (7˚). The close-up flash indicator
lights in the control panel.

Close-up flash indicator

• The flash light may be blocked when the lens is long or large in diameter. Be sure to perform

test shooting.

• Do not use this function for any purpose other than close-up shooting. If it is used in normal

shooting, there will be insufficient illumination for the upper half of the picture.

1.

Press the ZOOM button to adjust the firing angle.

• The M ZOOM indicator lights in the control panel.
• The firing angle can be set to one of 12, 14, 17, 25, 35 and

42 mm (24, 28, 35, 50, 70 and 85 mm with 135 camera).
Each press of the ZOOM button switches the firing angle
as follows.

Bounce Shooting

Bounce shooting refers to a method in which the light from the flash is bounced off the ceiling or
walls.
This allows the light to go all around the subject, resulting in a soft picture without harsh contrast
or shadow.

Operation

1.

While holding the Bounce lock release button, revolve the
light-emitting section in the up-down and left-right direc-
tions.
The light-emitting section can be revolved in the following
directions.
Up: 0˚ to 90˚
Left: 0˚ to 90˚
Right: 0˚ to 180˚

Down: 7˚
(See “Close-up Flash” on page 23.)

If the position of the light-emitting section is locked, press
and hold the Bounce lock release button and then change
the position.

• The light control range and optimum shooting distance are not displayed in the control panel.
• The color of the surface (ceiling and/or walls) off which the light is bounced will affect the

pictures you take. Whenever possible, bounce the light off a neutral surface.

• The firing angle is set to 25 mm (50 mm with 135 camera) when the firing angle adjustment is

automatic (ZOOM).

• When the firing angle adjustment is based on manual switching (M ZOOM), the firing angle

can be varied manually (see page 23).
