Operation Manual

Bounce Flash

Take the picture.

• Focus the subject, check that the

< > icon is lit in the viewfinder, then

take the picture.

• If the flash exposure confirmation

lamp does not light after the picture is

taken, use a larger aperture and try

again.

• If the ceiling or wall is too far away, the flash reaching the subject may be

insufficient, resulting in underexposure.

• The bounce surface should be a solid, white color that can reflect light. If the

bounce surface is not a solid, white color, the picture might have a color cast

based on the bounce surface's color or pattern.

Flash Exposure Compensation

If you have an EOS camera that can set flash exposure compensation, you

can apply flash exposure compensation to the 420EX. To set flash

exposure compensation, refer to the camera's instruction booklet.

• Flash exposure compensation can be set with the EOS-1D, 1V, 1N,

1N RS, 3, D60, D30, ELAN 7/7E, 30/33, 5, A2, A2E, ELAN II/ELAN II E,

50/50 E, and IX.
