10 Flash techniques

10.1 Bounce flash

Bounce flash illuminates the subject more softly and reduces dense shadows. It
also reduces the drop in light from foreground to background that occurs for
physical reasons.
The main reflector of the flash unit can be swivelled horizontally and tilted
vertically for bounce flash. To avoid colour cast in your shots, the reflective sur-
face should be colour-neutral or white. For frontal fill-in lighting, the secondary
reflector can also be activated in the Select Menu (see 7.8).
When tilting the main reflector vertically, make sure that it is turned
through an angle that is wide enough to prevent direct light from falling
on the subject. The reflector should be tilted at least as far as the 60°
lock-in position.
Flash ranges do not appear on the display when the main reflector is turned.
