Bounce flash operation
(For cameras in all groups)
Direct flash causes harsh, unattractive shadows to appear
on the faces of subjects in front of a wall. By bouncing the
light off the ceiling or walls, you can soften the shadows and
produce more natural portraits.
The flash head rotates from the horizontal to the vertical position
along a 180° arc.
