❚❚ Bounce Lighting
Light from the flash can be “bounced” (reflected) from a ceiling
or wall, diffusing the light from the flash to make shadows less
harsh and reduce glare from hair, skin, clothing and foreground
objects.

Bounce Lighting
If possible, bounce flash lighting from a reflective white or near-white
surface; light reflected from other surfaces may change the colors in
the photograph. If no suitable surface can be found nearby, a piece of
white paper (A4 or letter sized) can be used instead, but be sure to
check the results in the camera display.

The Capture Illuminator
The optional SB-N5 flash unit offers a capture
illuminator that lights to illuminate subjects
in best moment capture and Motion Snap-
shot modes (0 41, 59). In Smart Photo Selec-
tor and Motion Snapshot modes, the
illuminator will light for about 6 seconds dur-
ing buffering, illuminating subjects about
1 m (3.3 ft) from the camera. In slow view, the illuminator will light for
about 1.3 seconds, starting when the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway. Before shooting, confirm that the capture-illuminator status
indicator is lit. The indicator lights during buffering.
