Bounce Flash - Canon Speedlite 58OEX Instruction Manual

Bounce Flash
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.
Set the Bounce Direction
Hold down the
<PUSH>
button and turn the flash head.
If the flash coverage is set automatically, the flash coverage will be set to

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 result in the picture.

After you take the shot, if the flash exposure confirmation lamp does not light, use a
larger aperture opening and try again.
