Taking Close-up Photographs

Functions

E

When the flash-to-subject distance is less than approx. 2 m (6.6 ft.), tilting down the flash head is recommended to ensure sufficient illumination of the lower part of the subject in close-up photography.

•The bounce-down icon appears and the effective flash output distance range is underlined with a dotted line when the flash head is tilted down.

•With the built-in wide panel, the flash from the SB-700 is diffused. This softens shadows and prevents overexposure.

•When using a long lens, be careful that the light from the flash is not obstructed by the lens barrel.

•Vignetting may occur in close-up flash photography due to the illumination pattern, lens in use, focal length setting, etc. Therefore, make test shots if taking an important picture.
