Using
the
Wide
Panel
. The wide panel
is
located above the flash window. When shooting
with
wide-angle lenses
with
focal lengths
as
short
as
20
mm
(35
mm
format equivalent), extend the wide panel (if
OJ
is
selected for zoom,
you will also need
to
zoom the flash
out
to
24
mm).
Flash
output
drops slightly when the wide panel
is
used.
Bounce
Lighting
Light from the
EF-42
can be reflected (bounced) from a ceiling
or
wall
in
TTL
mode. Under some conditions,
the
flash may create dark shad-
ows in the background when aimed directly
at
the
subject. A softer,
more natural effect
can
be produced by bouncing the
light
from
the
flash
off
a ceiling
or
wall.

serve this precaution could damage the flash.

Flash
intensity may
drop
by
about
25% depend-
ing on the color and
type
of
the reflecting sur-
face.
CD
If
possible, bounce lighting
off
a surface that
is
white
or
nearly white. Particular care
is
advised
when taking color photographs,
as
light
reflected
from colored surfaces may affect
the
colors in the
image.
