< > Bounce Photography 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 of the subject.
Also, if the flash head is turned 90° upward 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 of the subject. When shooting portraits, the catchlight effect
can also be obtained.
