Nikon SB-22 instruction manual Bounce Flash Photography Procedure

Bounce Flash Photography Procedure

1.Select a ceiling to bounce the flash from. In color photography, select a white or si lver ceiling-other· wise, color photographs come out with an unnatural color cast similar to that of the reflecting surface.

2.Tilt the flash head tlpwards., towards the ceiling. To avoid uneven illumination, tilt flash head back 60° or more.

3.Set flash mode selector to TTL for TTL auto fl ash operation, A1 or A2 for non-TTL auto flash oper- ation, then turn on the flash unit. The bounce indi- cator blinks.

4.Choose an aperture and perform a test firing. If the ready-light blinks after test firing , indicating under- exposure may occur at the aperture set on the lens, use a wider aperture or reduce the bounce distance and test fire the flash again.

5.Bracket you r exposu res. You are recommended to take additional shots with the camera'sexposure compensation dial set in the + or - direction (not possible with Nikon F-401/N4004) for TTL auto flash operation or with the lens opened up or stopped down one or two f/stops for non-TTL auto flash operation .
