Tilting Flash Head CD
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 19 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.
