Ricoh GF-1 Catch-light panel, Flash compensation, 1st curtain / 2nd curtain synchronization

Caution

When using bounce flash, the illumination coverage is fixed at 50 mm.

•When the ceiling or walls are too far, the reflected light of the flash may not be enough and the bounce flash may not be effective.

•If the ceiling or walls are not white, the reflected light may be affected, taking their color.

•If the reflected light is attenuated too much and the bounce flash is not effective enough, select a higher ISO setting on the camera.

Catch-light panel

When using bounce flash, you can also use the catch-light panel at short distance to direct some of the light at a human subject, adding a glint in their eyes and brightening their expression.

•When you pull out the wide panel, the catch-light panel will be pulled out at the same time. Push the wide panel back inside.

•When using the catch-light panel, set the flash head upwards at a 90˚ and use bounce flash.

Flash compensation

When using Type R cameras, you can compensate the flash output level using the TTL auto or Ambient light auto mode. For details, see the Camera User Guide.
