Canon SBOEX instruction manual Bounce Flash, Set the Bounce Direction

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 50mm.

The LCD panel will also display <- ->mm.

15)1 You can also set the flash coverage manually_

$ 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.

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