Controlling Flash Coverage (Zoom)
|
23
Note: Manual zoom can also be used to achieve special effects, such as using the 105mm setting with a wide-
angle lens to produce a vignette.
Using the ash with wide-angle lenses: When you have a lens wider than 24mm mounted on your camera,
you can use the built-in diffuser panel to give the ash an angle of coverage equivalent to that of an 18mm
lens.
To use the diffuser:
1. Pull the diffuser and reector
panels out of their slot in the
ash head.
2. Push the reector back in, and
let the diffuser lay at against
the ash lens.
The diffuser also softens the light,
providing an alternative when no
surface is available for bouncing the
ash (see Bouncing Your Flash on page 24).
