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
bounce flash.
To avoid colour cast in your shots, the
reflective 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.
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.
