3 Press the shutter button halfway

Bounce flash is a technique where the light
from the flash is reflected off a ceiling or
wall.
When you directly point the flash at
subjects such as people, dark shadows
may appear and skin color etc. may turn
white. In this case, use bounce flash to
soften the shadows and take natural
pictures.
1 Press [FLASH] lightly and then fix
the built-in flash to the position
illustrated below.
• The built-in flash is fixed at about 73G.
• You can also switch the flash from the
normal flash position to the bounce
flash position by pressing the flash
down until it locks into the bounce flash
position. (P58)
2 Aim the flash at a ceiling or other
reflective surface and take a
picture.
• Select a whitish ceiling with a high
reflection ratio. If there are colors and
patterns on the reflective surface, they will
affect the color of the picture.
• The available flash range is less than
when taking pictures with the flash
normally.
• The reflected light may not reach the
subject if the ceiling used for reflecting the
light is too high.
• Using the flash for bounce flash at a
position other than specified may cause a
malfunction.
