8 Modelling light (ML)

Modelling light is only possible if the

function is integrated into the camera.

Modelling light (ML) uses a high

frequency strobe light.

It gives the impression of quasi continu-

ous light for 3 seconds.

Modelling light allows you to evaluate

light distribution and shadow prior to the

shot.

Modelling light is activated via the

camera.

9 Flash techniques

9.1 Bounce flash

Bounce flash illuminates the subject more

softly and reduces dense shadows. It also

reduces the drop in light from foreground to

background that occurs for physical reasons.

The main reflector of the flash unit can

be swivelled horizontally and tilted verti-

cally for bounce flash. To do this,

depress the reflector unlocking button

and tilt the reflector. To avoid colour cast

in your shots, the reflective surface

should be colour-neutral or white.

When tilting the main reflector vertically,

make sure that it is turned through an

angle that is wide enough to prevent

direct light from falling on the subject. For

this reason the reflector should be tilted at

least as far as the 60° lock-in position.

Flash ranges do not appear on the

display when the main reflector is turned!

When the reflector head is tilted, the main

reflector is moved to a position of grea-

ter/equal 70 mm in order to prevent the

subject from being additionally illumina-

ted by dispersed light.
