6. Bounced flash

6.1 Bounced flash in automatic flash mode

It is advisable to check prior to the actual exposure

whether the light is sufficient for the selected aperture

Please refer to chapter 9 „Correct exposure indicati-

on“ for the corresponding procedure.

6.2 Bounced flash in manual flash mode

The required camera aperture in the manual flash

mode is best established with an exposure meter. If

an exposure meter is not available observe the follo-

wing rule of thumb:

Camera aperture =

guide number

lighting distance x 2

to establish the f-stop. For added certainty two extra

exposures

should be shot, one with +1 f-stop and one

with -1 f-stop.

This rule of thumb only applies to rooms

with a normal ceiling height.

The

guide number

for the given film speed can be

selected from the table in Chapter 12 „Technical

Data“.

The

lighting distance

is the distance between the

camera and the subject.

Tilting the reflector:

Hold the mecablitz with one hand and use the other

hand to pull the reflector head forward, out of the

casing, until the stop point is reached. You can then tilt

the reflector vertically upward by about 80°.
