The SB-11
's
tilting flash
head
has click-stops at 30°, 60°,
90°,
and
approx.
120°. 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
back
to
bounce
the
light
off
the
ceiling
or
walls. Consult the illustration for details.
You
can
also
use
the
open-flash
button
® in conjunction with the ready-
light to
determine
if
there
is
enough
light for
correct
ex-
posure
before
actually taking
the
picture.
Please
see
page

for
more
information. The color
temperature
of
the
SB-11
's light
output
is
balanced
for use with daylight-
type color film.

Not
...
:
1) When the flash
head
is
tilted
back
only
30°,
some
amount
of
light from
the flash
head
may
reach the
subject
direclly,
causing
unevenness
of
illumination.
To
avoid
this,
make
sure
the flash
head
is lilted
back
60°
or more.
2)
Unless the surface you are using to
bounce
the light
off
is while or
silver, your color photogrophs will
come
out with an unnatural color
cast similar to that
of
the reflecting surface.
