10.2 Bounce flash with a reflector
card
The use of bounce flash with the integra-
ted reflector card
can bring out high-
lights in the eyes of human subjects:
• Tilt the reflector head upwards by 90°.
• Pull the reflector card
together with
the wide-angle diffuser from above
out of the reflector head and forwards.
• Hold the reflector card and push
the wide-angle diffuser back into
the reflector head.
10.3 Flash exposure memory
Some Group C cameras (see Table 1)
have flash exposure memory (FV memo-
ry).
This is supported by the flash unit in i-TTL
and i-TTL BL flash mode. It can be used
to define and store the exposure level for
the subsequent shot before the shot is
actually taken. This can be useful when,
for example, the flash exposure has to
be adjusted to specific details that may
not be necessarily be identical with the
main subject.
The function is activated on the camera,
in some instances as an individual func-
tion. The subject detail to which the flash
exposure is to be adjusted is sighted and
brought into focus with the AF
sensor/metering window in the camera.
When the AE-L/AF-L button (the termi-
nology may vary with the camera
model) on the camera is pressed, the
flash unit fires a test flash.
The stored metering value, for example
„EL“, is then displayed in the camera
viewfinder. The camera uses the reflected
light of the test flash to determine the
light output required for the subsequent
exposure.
The actual main subject can then be
brought into focus with the camera’s
AF sensor/metering window. When the
shutter release is pressed, the picture will
be exposed with the previously defined
light output of the flash unit!
For more detailed information on
adjustments and handling, refer to the
camera’s operating instructions!
