Soft
Flash
Unit
Case
55·16
The
SS-16
accommodates the main flash unit of the S8-16
and both Flash Unit Couplers AS-8 and
AS
-9,
one
at-
tached to the main flash unit, and one stored separately
inside the pocket, with the Wide-Flash Adapter
SW-7
attached to the flash head.
If
you do not store a flash unit
coupler
in
the pocket, then you can put the
SW
-7 inside
the pocket instead of attaching
it
to the flash head.
The
pocket can also
be
used to store spare batteries.
Note:
In
storing the coupler
or
adapter inside the pocket, never put them
together
or
anything else with
it.
If
you
do so, the electrical contacts
on
the mounting foot
of
the coupler
or
the glass
su
rface of the adapter may
be damaged.
"RED
EYE"------
"
Red
eye"
is
a phenomenon
in
flash photography where
the center portions of the subject's eyes appear
as
bright
red
orbs
in
color photographs (or white
in
black and white
pictures). This
is
a result of the light from the flash illumi -
nating the retina directly. If the subject looks straight into
the lens and there
is
little or no ambient light, the pupil
is
wide open, making the retina clearly visible
in
the picture.
To
avoid
"re
d eye," you can take any or all of the follow-
ing
precautions:
1. Ask the subject not to look directly into the lens when
the picture
is
taken.
2.
Remove the flash unit from the camera and hold
it
as
far away
as
possible from the camera
by
using a sync
cord.
3. Increase the room's overall illumination to reduce the
opening of the subject's pupils.
