Cover the subject with the viewfinder's AF frame and press the shut

ter button halfway.

Make sure the shutter speed and aperture value displayed in the

viewfinder are not blinking and that the flash charge indicator i is lit,

then take the picture.

• After taking a picture with bounce flash, the flash exposure check lamp will

light for approx. 2 seconds if correct exposure was achieved. If the flash

exposure check lamp does not light, the subject was underexposed: Set a

larger aperture and take the picture again

For best effect, bounce the flash off of a highly-reflective, solid white (or ott-white)

surface. If the surface is colored or patterned, the reflected light will pick up the

color or pattern and will adversely affect the photograph.

• Catchlight Photography

A “catchlight” is a point of light

reflected in the subject’s eyes

which adds life to the photograph.

When taking portrait shots with

bounce flash, the 540EZ’s built-in

wide panel can be used as a

reflector to provide a catchlight

effect.
