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.
