Bounce Flash Operation

Functions

Bounce flash is a photographic technique using light that is bounced off a ceiling or wall using a tilted or rotated flash head. This provides the effects listed below compared to those with direct light from a flash unit:

•Overexposure to a subject that is closer than other subjects can be reduced.

•Background shadows can be softened.

•Shine in faces, hair and clothes can be reduced.

The shadows can be softened further using the Nikon Diffusion Dome.

•For more details and comparative example photos, see the separate booklet, “A collection of example photos.”
