With
the unit mounted as usual on the
camera,
turn the
flash head
away
from
its
forward
position
so that it
points
toward the
surface
you
wish to bounce
the
light from,
such
as
the.ceiling with
the camera
held horizontall|
or a wal I
with the
camera
in
position
for
vertical
pictures.
The flash head
can be set
by friction
at
any
point
up to 9Oo
from straight
ahead
and
has
click-stops at 50o and 65o as
well
as
at the
extremes.
To avoid uneven exposure
from
direct-
flash
light
also
falling in
the
picture
area,
the
head
should be set at the second
click-stop
or
farther from
straight ahead
with lenses
down to
24mm
wideangle
on
L
full-frame
35mm. With
50mm or longer
telephoto
lenses,
the
head may
be set at
the
click-stop
nearer
straight ahead or
any
point
between there
and 90".
These
ranges
are
indicated
on the flash-unit
body above the computer
dial.
Surfaces
from
which
flash
is
bounced should
general
ly
be as light
and as
neutral
in
color as
possible
(e.9.,
mat white), since
dark ones will not reflect
enough and
colored ones will
affect the
balance
of
the
light
falling
on the subject. This is
particularly
important
with
color
film.
