Combined Use With The Bounce Adapter - Canon Speedlite 470EX-AI Instruction Manual

q Combined Use with the Bounce Adapter
If you attach the provided bounce adapter to the Speedlite and bounce
the flash light on the ceiling or wall, etc., you can spread the flash light
across a larger area and suppress the shadows on the subject.
Also, if the bounce angle is set to 90° to bounce the flash light on the
ceiling, etc., the diffused flash light emitted from the sides of the bounce
adapter falls on the front of the subject (shooting distance guidance:
within approx. 1.5 m/4.9 ft., at ISO 100 with f/2.8), further suppressing
the shadow on the subject. When shooting portraits, the catchlight effect
can also be obtained.
