Setting flash head tilting/rotating angles, and
choosing a reflecting surface
Good results are most easily achieved when the flash head is tilted up to use the
•
ceiling as a reflecting surface.
Rotate the flash head horizontally to get the same effect when the camera is held
•
in the vertical position.
Illumination can be softened further when the light is bounced off a ceiling or
•
wall behind the camera, as opposed to in front of the camera.
Select white or highly reflective surfaces to bounce the light off. Otherwise,
•
image colors will be influenced by the color of the reflecting surface.
Take care not to let light from the flash unit illuminate the subject directly.
•
The effective distance between the flash head and the reflecting surface is
•
approx. 1 m to 2 m (3.3 ft to 6.6 ft) depending on photographic conditions.
If the reflecting surface is not close enough, a piece of A4-size white paper can
•
be used instead. Please check the subject is exposed to the bounced light before
taking a picture.
