Simultaneously using direct light and bounced light from the flash
produces uneven lighting. Determine the bounce angle with respect to the
distance to the reflective surface, the distance from the camera to the
subject, the focal length of the lens etc.

Rotating the flash by 90° to bounce light sideways is recommended. If an
angle of less than 90° is used, care should be taken to ensure that direct
light from the flash does not illuminate the subject.

70 mm minimum 45°
28-70 mm 60°
28 mm maximum 75°, 90°
