Bounce Flash Operation
Bounce flash is a photographic technique using light that is bounced
off a ceiling or wall using a tilted or rotated flash head. This provides
the effects listed below compared to those with direct light from a
flash unit:
• Overexposure to a subject that is closer than other subjects can be
reduced.
• Background shadows can be softened.
• Glare on faces, hair and clothes can be reduced.
