12 Flash techniques

12.1 Bounce flash

Bounce flash illuminates the subject more
softly and reduces dense shadows. It also
reduces the drop in light from foreground to
background that occurs for physical reasons.
The reflector of the flash unit can be swivel-
led horizontally and tilted vertically for boun-
ce flash. To do this, depress the reflector
unlocking button and tilt the reflector .
To avoid colour cast in your shots, the reflec-
tive surface should be colour-neutral or
white.
When tilting the reflector vertically, make
sure that it is turned through an angle that is
wide enough to prevent direct light from
falling on the subject. For this reason the
reflector should be tilted at least as far as the
60° lock-in position. Flash ranges do not
appear on the display when the reflector is
turned! When the reflector head is tilted, the
reflector is moved to a position of 70 mm in
order to prevent the subject from being
additionally illuminated by dispersed light.
The range and position of the reflector is not
displayed.
