Setting flash head tilting/rotating angles,
and choosing a reflecting surface
Good results are most easily achieved when the flash head is tilted •
up to use the ceiling as a reflecting surface.
Rotate the flash head horizontally to get the same effect when the •
camera is held in the vertical position.
Illumination can be softened further when the light is bounced off •
a ceiling or wall behind the camera, as opposed to in front of the
camera.
Select white or highly reflective surfaces to bounce the light off. •
Otherwise, image colors will be influenced by the color of the
reflecting surface.
Take care not to let light from the flash unit illuminate the subject •
directly.
The effective distance between the flash head and the reflecting •
surface is approx. 1 m to 2 m (3.3 ft. to 6.6 ft.) depending on
photographic conditions.
If the reflecting surface is not close enough, a piece of A4-size white •
paper can be used instead. Please check the subject is exposed to the
bounced light before taking a picture.
