Bouncing Your Flash
|

The VS-260F flash head can be tilted up at 45-, 60-, 75-, and 90-degree angles to the lens.
When bouncing your flash, you may need to adjust your exposure settings, since the level of light falling on
your subject will be reduced. The farther apart the bounce surface and your subject are, the more illumination
will be reduced.
Tip:
Bouncing your flash off colored surfaces can create a color cast in your images. Bouncing off a white or
neutral-colored surface will not alter the color of the light, while bouncing off a gold-toned surface can give
portraits a warmer look. Other colors, while usually not desirable, can be used for creative effects.
