Bounce Flash

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.

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

●

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 appear in the picture.

Creating a Catchlight

With the catchlight panel, you can create a catchlight in the subject’s
eyes to add life to the facial expression.

Point the flash head upward by

1

90°.

Pull out the wide panel. The

2

catchlight panel will come out
at the same time.

Push the wide panel back in.

3

●

Push in only the wide panel.

●

Follow the same procedures
as for bounce flash.

●

Point the flash head straight ahead and then upward by 90°.

The catchlight will not appear if you swing the flash head left
or right.

●

For best catchlight effect, stay 1.5m/4.9ft away from the

subject.

the lens focal length so that the picture will not have a dark
periphery.

●

When the low battery indicator is displayed, the ZOOM can

not be adjusted, it will constantly be 16mm.
