Using the built-in bounce card

In bounce flash photography, you can create a highlight in the subject’s eyes by using the SB-28's built-in bounce card. This white card reflects a small amount of light directly back to the subject, opening up the shadows and making the eyes look more vibrant.

1Pull out the wide flash adapter.

2While holding the bounce card, slide the wide flash adapter back into place inside the flash head.

•After sliding the wide flash adapter back into place, pull out the bounce card gently as far as it goes. Be careful not to force the bounce card.

3Set the flash head as shown and take pictures.

•After use, don’t forget to slide the bounce card back into its original position inside the flash head.
