If it is colored, the color may affect the image. The reflecting surface should not be a high ceiling or glass. .. When [BOUNCE] is set, the flash range is reduced. If an image is under exposed (the shot looks dark), get closer to the subject, increase the ISO sensitivity or open the aperture more. .
