6.1 Bounced flash in automatic flash mode

It is advisable to check prior to the actual exposure
whether the light is sufficient for the selected aperture.
Please refer to chapter 9 „Correct exposure indicati-
on" for the corresponding procedure.

6.2 Bounced flash in manual flash mode

The required camera aperture in the manual flash
mode is best established with an exposure meter. If
an exposure meter is not available observe the follo-
wing rule of thumb:
guide number
Camera aperture =
lighting distance x 2
to establish the f-stop. For added certainty two extra
exposures should be shot, one with +1 f-stop and one
with -1 f-stop.
This rule of thumb only applies to rooms
with a normal ceiling height.
