FURTHER SETTINGS/FUNCTIONS

INDIRECT FLASH
With indirect flash, the subject is illuminated more softly and
marked shadow formation is reduced. In addition, the physical
decrease in brightness from the foreground to the background is
reduced.
For indirect flash, the reflector head
pivoted horizontally and vertically.
Horizontal: in both directions in engaging 30° steps to max. 180°
Vertical: up in engaging 15° steps from 45° to 90°
Notes:
• To avoid color cast, the reflective surface should be neutral in
color or white.
• When pivoting the reflector, make sure that it is pivoted by at
least 60° if no direct light is to fall from the reflector onto the
subject.
When the reflector head is pivoted, the zoom reflector is moved
to the 70 mm position in modes with automatic adjustment (see
p. 36) for this reason.

Indirect flash with the reflector card
With indirect flash with the integrated reflector card
brightening with a very soft shading effect can be achieved. The
very small proportion of light directed to the front has other
advantages: It generates highlights in eyes, reduces or even
prevents the "red-eye" effect and allows flash shots without dazzle
from shorter distances.
Removing/inserting reflector card
Pull out the reflector card to the front as far as it will go, i.e. until it
engages in this position.
To insert, it just needs to be pushed back slightly from its engaged
working position.
It then automatically returns to its initial position.
Use
Pivot the reflector head up by 90°.
Notes:
• Note the much smaller flash range. It is recommended to test
the illumination in advance with test shots.
• The integrated wide-angle diffusion screen can not be used at
the same time, i.e. it must be in its initial position.
