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.
Bounce Flash
1. If the wall or ceiling is too far away, the bounced flash might be too weak and
result in underexposure.
2. 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.

:
ZOOM: Setting the Flash Coverage
The flash coverage can be set automatically or manually. It can be set
to match the lens focal length from 14 to 52mm(43 format) or 28mm to
105mm(135 format). In auto zoom mode, the focal length changes in
response to the camera's zoom lens to provide optimal flash results.
In manual zoom mode, press the
<ZOOM> button.
Turn the select dial to change the
ash coverage.
If <
> is displayed, the ash
coverage will be set automatically.
If you set the flash coverage manually, make sure it covers the lens focal length so
that the picture will not have a dark periphery.
