6 Flash techniques
6.1 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 flash unit can be tilted vertically for indirect flash.
To avoid colour cast in your shots, the reflective surface
should be colour-neutral or white.
The flash unit can be tilted via a hinge in the mounting
foot. There are 4 different stop positions:
- 0° / “lying" on the camera
First close-up range position, also for transport
- 20°
Second close-up range position
- 40°
Normal position (unit flashes in the direction of the
optical axis)
- 90° / main body is vertical
Position for indirect flashes (diagonally upwards)
