Taking Close-up Photographs
When the flash-to-subject distance is less than approx. 2 m (6.5 ft), tilting
down the flash head is recommended to ensure sufficient illumination of
the lower part of the subject in close-up photography.
• The bounce-down icon appears when the flash head is tilted down.
• When using a long lens, be careful that the light from the flash is not
obstructed by the lens barrel.
• Vignetting may occur in close-up flash photography due to the
illumination pattern, lens in use, focal length setting, etc. Therefore,
make test shots if taking an important picture.

Effect of the built-in wide panel
With the built-in wide panel, the flash from the SB-5000 is diffused. This
softens shadows and prevents glare on faces, etc.
