This is called bounce flash.
To set the bounce direction, hold the flash head and tum itto a satisfying angle. • If the wall or ceiling is t0o far away, the bounced flash might be too weak and result in underexposure,
• The wall or celling should be a plain, white color for high reflectance.
• If the bounce surface is not white, a color cast may appear in the picture.
Creating a Catchlight
With the catchight pansl, you can create a catchlight n the subject oyes o add lfe o the facial expression.
