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

Hold down the <PUSH> button and turn the flash head.
If the flash coverage is set automatically, the flash coverage will be set to 50mm
The LCD panel will also display <-->mm
- You can also set the flash coverage manually
|
- If the wall or ceiling is too far away the bounced flash might be too weak and result in underexposure
- The wall or ceiling should be a plain, white color for high reflectance. If the bounce surface is not white a color cast may result in the picture
- After you take the shot, if the flash exposure confirmation lamp does not light, use a larger aperture opening and try again. With a digital camera, you can also increase the ISO speed
