12 Flash techniques

12.1 Bounce flash

Bounce flash illuminates the subject more softly

and reduces dense shadows. It also reduces the

drop in light from foreground to background that

occurs for physical reasons.

The reflector of the flash unit can be swivelled hori-

zontally and tilted vertically for bounce flash.

To avoid colour cast in your shots, the reflective sur-

face should be colour-neutral or white.

When tilting the reflector vertically, make sure that

it is turned through an angle that is wide enough to

prevent direct light from falling on the subject. For

this reason the reflector should be tilted at least as

far as the 60° lock-in position.

When the reflector head is tilted, the reflector is

moved to a position of 70 mm in order to prevent

the subject from being additionally illuminated by

dispersed light .

When the reflector head is given, there is no indica-

tion of reach and no automatic adjustment of the

reflector position.

12.2 Bounce flash with a reflector card

The use of bounce flash with the integrated reflec-

tor card  can bring out highlights in the eyes of

human subjects:

• Tilt the reflector head upwards by 90°.

• Pull the reflector card  together with the wide-

angle diffuser  from above out of the reflector

head and forwards.

• Hold the reflector card  and push the wide-

angle diffuser  back into the reflector head.

12.3 Flash exposure memory FE

Several cameras feature a flash exposure memory

(FE; Flash-Exposure). The flash unit supports this

during i TTL and i TTL BLflash mode.

It can be used to define and store the exposure

level for the subsequent shot before the shot is

actually taken. This can be useful when, for exam-

ple, the flash exposure has to be adjusted to speci-

fic details that may not be necessarily be identical

with the main subject.

This function is activated on the camera. The sub-

ject details for the flash exposure are measured and

brought into focus by the cameraís AF sensor/mete-

ring window. Pressing the cameraís FE button (the

description varies from camera to camera; see

camera operating manual) causes the flash unit to

fire an FE test flash.
