Notes on bounce flash

For a simple bounce flash technique, tilt the flash head upward

and bounce the flash light off the ceiling. Note that the flash

should not directly illuminate the subject.

• The recommended distance

between the flash head and

reflective surface (ex. ceiling)

is 1 to 2m (3.3-6.6 ft).

• Note to prevent the flash light

directly illuminating the

subject.

• In color photography, select

white or highly reflective

surfaces to bounce the light

off. Otherwise, your pictures

will come out with an

unnatural color cast similar to

that of the reflecting surface.

• When the distance between

the flash head and reflective

surfaces is long, use some

A4-size white paper to

bounce the light off. Check

that the bounced light rightly

illuminates the subject.
