nBounce Flash

With the AF360FGZ, you can tilt the flash head to aim at the ceiling or wall to bounce the flash before it reaches the subject. Doing so creates softer light and shadows to make the picture look more natural. Bouncing the flash will decrease the flash intensity by the time it reaches the subject. Therefore, this function is effective when photographing in P-TTL or TTL mode at short distances.

The bounce angle can be set to the following angles.

Upward:	0°,	45°, 60°, 75°, 90°
Downward:	0°,	-10°
