Bounced and Swiveled Flash

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.
