ADJUSTABLE BOUNCE FLASH HEAD
The P20 flash includes a head that lets you position the light in a number of vertical positions, in all exposure modes. For more pleasing and creative lighting effects, such as softening harsh shadows on a subject, the Bounce Flash Head is adjustable vertically up to 90 degrees, with stops at 45, 60, and 75 degrees.
CAUTION Do not attempt to force the head beyond the available settings, or damage to the flash unit will occur.
1.Partly depress the camera’s shutter release to check whether the correct aperture and shutter speed are selected.
IMPORTANT: The effectiveness of the bounce flash feature is dependent upon the distance to, and the condition of, the reflecting surface used.
2.Aim the flash head at a point on the bounce surface, halfway between the flash and the subject. Normally, when the flash is bounced off a surface, it will lose 25% power or more, even when the surface is white. Therefore, when a bounce flash photo is taken in TTL (through the lens) mode, it is recommended that you select a larger aperture than for a direct flash photograph.
NOTE: Bounce your flash off a white surface whenever possible to achieve the best overall illumination level. In color photography, when a colored surface is used for bounce lighting, it reflects its color on the subject. When indoors, use a white ceiling of 20 ft (6.1 m) or lower.
