Bouncing Your Flash
Using flash to directly illuminate a subject often creates harsh, unnatural, and unattractive shadows. To avoid
this, the flash can be tilted or swiveled, allowing you to aim your flash at a large white or neutral-colored
surface, such as a ceiling, a wall, or a reflector. The light will bounce off of the larger surface before striking
your subject, providing softer, more natural illumination.
The VS-510OP flash head can
be tilted up at 45-, 60-, 75-,
and 90-degree angles to the
lens. It can also be swiveled
horizontally 180 degrees to
the left and 120 degrees to
the right.
