Bounce Flash
By pointing the ash head toward a wall or ceiling, the ash will
bounce off the surface before illuminating the subject. This can
soften shadows behind the subject for a more natural-looking
shot. This is called bounce ash.
To set the bounce direction, hold the ash head and turn it to a
satisfying angle.
• If the wall or ceiling is too far away, the bounced ash
might be too weak and result in underexposure.
• The wall or ceiling should be a plain, white color for high
reectance. If the bounce surface is not white, a color
cast may appear in the picture.
Creating a Catchlight
With the catchlight panel, you can create a catchlight in the
subject’s eyes to add life to the facial expression.
1
Point the ash head upward
by 90°.
2
Pull out the wide panel. The
catchlight panel will come out
at the same time.
3
Push the wide panel back in.
• Push in only the wide panel.
• Follow the same proce-
dures as for bounce ash.
• Point the ash head straight ahead and then upward by
90°. The catchlight will not appear if you swing the ash
head left or right.
• For best catchlight effect, stay 1.5m/4.9ft away from the
subject.
