Nikon SB-24 instruction manual Camera Side Compensation, Lighting Manipulation

CAMERA SIDE COMPENSATION

Manual control: adjustment made via the camera's EV compensation control; affects the entire exposure, both available light and light from the flash .

For available compensation range with each film speed, see the table below.

Automatic control: accomplished via the camera's mUlti-segment metering system; preprogrammed at the factory according to extensive testing.

Bracketing: results in a variety of different exposures, both under- and overexposed; can be accomplished either by using manual adjustments or by using an optional multi-control accessory back.

LIGHTING MANIPULATION

Bounce flash: can be considered a compensation method since it offers variation to the exposure and augments available light; light may be bounced off various surfaces to create different results.

Multiple flash: using more than one flash to create specific lighting patterns on the subject. May be used either with available light, or to obscure (overpower) the effects of available light.

Diffusers: devices placed in front of a camera lens to soften a lighting effect or placed over each flash unit to modify the quality of the light source.

Indirect flash: removing the flash from the camera and holding it to the side, above or from below the subject to create distinctly different lighting effects. This requires a special extension cord which allows you to maintain automatic control.
