Adjusting bounce angle

Simultaneously using direct light and bounced light from the flash unit produces

uneven lighting. Determine the bounce angle with respect to the distance to the

reflective surface, the distance from the camera to the subject, the focal length of

the lens etc.

When the flash is bounced upwards

Determine the angle in relation to the following table.

Bouncing to Left and Right

Rotating the flash by 90° to bounce light sideways is recommended. If an angle of

less than 90° is used, care should be taken to ensure that direct light from the flash

unit does not illuminate the subject.

Focal length of lens Bounce angle

70 mm minimum 45°

28 - 70 mm 60°

28 mm maximum 75°, 90°
