In case the light is not enough

When the flash light is insufficient Shooting with higher ISO sensitivity

When the reflective surface is too far away, the light from Speedlight may be not enough to illuminate the subject.

•When taking photograph with digital cameras, set the ISO sensitivity higher than in normal shooting.

•For bounce flash shooting, set the lens’ aperture larger (f/3.5, f/4.5 or f/5.6) than for normal shooting.

•Reduce the distance between the reflective surface and the Speedlight.
