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

Creating a Catchlight

With the catchlight panel, you can create a catchlight in the subject's
eyes to add life to the facial expression.
Point the flash head straight ahead and then upward by
90°. The catchlight will not appear if you swing the flash
head left or right.
For best catchlight effect, stay 1.5m/4.9ft away from the
subject.
ZOOM: Setting the Flash Coverage and Using
the Wide Panel
The flash coverage can be set automatically or manually. It can be
set to match the lens focal length from 20 mm to 200mm. Also, with
the built-in wide panel, the flash coverage can be expanded for
14mm wide-angle lenses.
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.
