Bounced and Swiveled Flash
-13-
Photos shot with full frontal flash are easily recognized by their
harsh, dense shadows.This is often associated with a sharp drop of
the foreground to the background. This phenomenon can be
avoided with bounced and swiveled flashes. Diffused light will
produce a soft and uniform shadow when the reflector is turned
vertically at a 90º angle. Select white or reflective surfaces to
bounce the light off. Otherwise your pictures will come with an
unnatural color cast similar to that of the reflecting surface. When
swiveling the reflector ensure that no direct light from the reflector
reaches the subject. When using bouncing or swiveling flash, the zooming position will be
locked in 50mm, except with Manual mode.
• Reflecting plate and diffuser
The flashgun has a built-in reflecting plate and diffuser. You can slide out the reflecting
plate or diffuser from the top of the flash head. Bouncing the flash head and using the
reflecting plate can produce better looking pictures. The diffuser can reduce
strong light to create soft effects.
