❚❚ Bounce Lighting
Light from the flash can be “bounced” (reflected) from a ceiling
or wall, diffusing the light from the flash to make shadows less
harsh and reduce glare from hair, skin, clothing and foreground
objects.

Bounce Lighting
If possible, bounce flash lighting from a reflective white or near-white
surface; light reflected from other surfaces may change the colors in
the photograph. If no suitable surface can be found nearby, a piece of
white paper (A4 or letter sized) can be used instead, but be sure to
check the results in the camera display.

The Capture Illuminator
The optional SB-N5 flash unit offers a capture
illuminator that lights to illuminate subjects
in best moment capture and Motion Snap-
shot modes (0 76, 87). In Active Selection,
Smart Photo Selector, and Motion Snapshot
modes, the illuminator will light for about
5 seconds during buffering, illuminating sub-
jects about 1 m (3.3 ft) from the camera. In
slow view, the illuminator will light for about
1.3 seconds, starting when the camera
focuses after the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway. Before shooting, confirm
that the capture-illuminator status indicator
is lit. The indicator also lights during buffer-
ing.
