Bouncing the fl ash
You can soften the light from the fl ash by refl ecting it off the ceiling or walls.
• When you set ZOOM (fi ring angle) to A (auto), the fi ring angle for bounce fl ash
photography becomes the “Bounce zoom” setting. (P. 60)
Creating a catch light effect
If you use the catch light plate during bounce fl ash photography, you can create
refl ections in the eyes of human subjects. This gives subjects more dynamic
expressions.

Hold down the PUSH button and tilt the fl ash window upward by 90
degrees.
