Thanks to all responders !

I'm just saying "
kinda" because the flash goes on to full power to compensate for the bounce since it has to get as much light it has since you have to deflect the light.
The camera still does P-TTL to get the correct exposure.
I've posted some shots for you so you can see for yourself.
All these where bounced off the ceiling that was 10ft.
ISO was set at 400 and I made it only 4MP due to attachment limits.
The first two was angled about 60 degrees and the third was at 90 degree (100% vertical) bounce! You can see the shadow on the lamp on the third photo going down.
The room was in almost total darkness and the AF assist of the flash nailed the focus and fast!
Judge for yourself if it is underexposed.
I'll try to attach the pix without resizing but if I can't then there is no PP but only resizing on the pix.
I blurred out some areas on purpose (the only PP) 'coz of personal identification and personal information on the receipts.
