Bounce lighting

When lighting a subject in front of

the wall, an unnecessary sharp

shadow may appear on the wall

behind the subject resulting in a

disappointing picture. Bounce the

light off the ceiling or wall to soften

the light on the subject, and the

shadow will fade.

Press the rotate lock to turn the flash head up and down. It turns

upward to 45° >60° >75° >90° and downward to 7°

Press the rotate lock to tilt the flash head sideway to left 30°

>60° >90°>120°>150° >180° or to right 30° >60° >90° >120°

>150° >180°.

Or mixing it upward/downward/ sideways, you can set it in

multiple directions as shown.

When the flash head stays at turning or tilting position, the zoom

setting position of Di700A is automatically set at the position for

a 50mm focal length lens.

The wall or ceiling in this case should be a flat surface and white

color is preferable. Colored ceiling or wall may reflect its color on

the subject.

AF assist light emitter

Under a low light condition, or in a dark place, the AF assist light

will automatically emit the beam and illuminate the subject, so that

the camera can easily focus on the subject in darkness. The beam

is however not shown in the picture.
