Using a diffuser

It is also possible to diffuse the light by placing a trans - lucent material , such as one or more sheets of tracing paper, between the flash and subject. You can create more pronounced diffusion by placing a certain distance between the diffuser and flash than by wrapping the diffuser around the flash head. Experimentation with different flash-to -diffuser distances and/or with more than one diffuser is recommended .

Notes:

1)In non-TTL automatic shooting, make sure that the diffuser does not come between the S8-16'ssensor and the subject.

2)Some diffusion materials may cause a slight reddish tint in color photo - graphs by decreasing the color temperature of the light from the fla sh.

3)When a diffuser is used, shooting distance cannot be read with the exposure calculator dial.
