tSetting the aperture in bounce flash operation

In bounce flash, there is a light loss of 2 to 3 stops when compared with normal flash photography (with flash head adjusted to horizontal/front). Therefore, you should use a two- or three-step wider aperture (small f-number), and adjust it according to the results.

When the flash head is adjusted to other than the horizontal/front position, the flash shooting distance range indicator on the SB-900 disappears. To ensure correct exposure, first confirm the flash shooting distance range and aperture with the flash head in the normal position. Next, set this aperture on the camera.
