Bounce Flash Operation
Bounce flash is a photographic technique using light that is bounced off a
ceiling or wall using a tilted or rotated flash head. This provides the effects
listed below compared to those with direct light from a flash unit:
Overexposure to a subject that is closer than other subjects can be
reduced.
Background shadows can be softened.
Glare on faces, hair and clothes can be reduced.
The shadows can be softened further using the Nikon Diffusion Dome.
Nikon Diffusion Dome
By attaching the included Nikon Diffusion Dome over the flash head,
light can be further diffused during bounce flash photography to create
extremely soft light with virtually no shadow.
The same effect can be achieved with the camera in either horizontal or
vertical position.
Light is more effectively diffused when the built-in wide panel is used
(0E-6).
