automatically.

When taking a picture of a baby or small children, do not shoot the flash

straight onto them. Bounce the light off the ceiling or wall so that it won’t scare

them.

When pointing the flash to a subject in front of the wall, it creates an

unexpected sharp shadow on the wall which results in poor picture quality.

Bounce the light off the ceiling or wall to soften the light over the subject, and

the shadow fades out.

Turn the flash head upwards or sideway. The wall or ceiling in this case should

be flat surface and white color is preferable. Colored ceiling or wall may reflect

its color on the subject.
