The SB-14's movable flash
head
can
be
tilted
back
up
to
120
0
and
rotated
120

to
the
left
and

for
both tilting
and
rotating movements. For normal shooting,
point
the
flash
head
straight
ahead.
In this position,
the
light travels directly out to
the
subject providing the
maximum amount
of
light possible. However, to soften
the
shadows
and
lower
the
contrast for indoor snapshots,
you
can
tilt
the
flash
head
up
and
simultaneously rotate
it
to
the
left
or
right to
bounce
the
light
off
the
ceiling or
walls. Consult
the
illustration for details. Note that unless
the
surface
you
are
using to
bounce
the
light
off
of
is
white
or
Silver, your color
photographs
will
come
out
with
an
unnatural
color cast similar to that
of
the
reflect-
ing
surface.
The color
temperature
of
the
SB-14's light output is
balanced
for use with daylight type color film.

No
te: When the flash
head
is tilted up
to
120°, rotation is somewhat
restricted;
and
depending
on the amount
of
rotation, tilt
might
be
re-
stricted.
