Details on close-up flash operation and
shooting procedures
Example E E-3
• Camera: D70
• Lens:AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor
18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED
• Group A: SB-R200 (TTL)
Dual-light close-up flash operation (one
flash unit attached to the front of the lens
+ one remote unit bounced off the wall)
This picture was taken as an example of
how to show cloth texture detail and pattern
in such products as children’s wear and
handicrafts for the purpose of displaying on
Internet auction sites. Light and shadows
cast due to the difference in flash output
levels between flash units on the right and
on the left create more natural looking
pictures, enabling the real textures of the
material to be revealed.
• Group B: SB-R200 (TTL)
E-4 example in “Close-up Speedlight Photography
Examples” was taken under the same conditions
as with E-3.
Example F F-4
Single-light close-up flash operation
Comparison of lighting effects due to
differences in shooting distances. The
subject (F-4) is approx. 10 cm (3.9 in.) away
from the camera, while subject (F-5) is 70 cm
(2.3 ft.) from the camera. The shorter the
distance between the subject and camera,
the greater the lighting effects, and the longer
the distance, the less there are shadows.

• Lens (F-4): AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D
