Nikon SB-16 Camera Flash User Manual


 
Using
a diffuser
It
is
also possible
to
diffuse the light by placing a trans-
lucent materi
al
, such
as
one or more sheets of tracing
paper,
between the flash
and
subject.
You
can create
more pronounced diffusion
by
placing a certain distance
between the diffuser
and
flash than by wrapping the
diffuser around the flash head. Experimentati
on
with
different flash-to-diffuser distances and/or with more
than
one
diffuser
is
recommended.
Notes:
1)
In
non-
TTL
automatic shooting, make sure that the diffuser does not
come between the
S8
-16's sensor and the subject.
2)
Some
diffusion materials may cause a slight reddish tint
in
color photo-
graphs by decreasing the color temperature
of
the light from the
fla
sh.
3)
When
a diffuser
is
used, shooting distance cannot
be
read with the
exposure calculator dial.
