Bounce flash
Using the flash with a wall directly behind the subject produces strong
shadows on the wall. By directing the flash at the ceiling you can
illuminate the subject with reflected light, reducing the intensity of the
shadows and producing a softer light on the screen.
Rotate the flash upwards or to the left and right while
pressing the bounce lock-release button.
