When taking pictures indoors, direct flash often causes harsh,

unattractive shadows on the subject or background. By bouncing

the light off the ceiling or walls, you can soften the shadows and

produce more natural-looking portraits.

With the SB-28's built-in bounce card, you can create a highlight in the

subject's eyes. (See page 61, Using the built-in bounce card.)

Select the exposure mode.

—Set camera’s exposure mode to Aperture-priority auto (A) or Manual (M).

Set the aperture.

• With bounce flash, there is a 2 to 3 stop light loss or more, depending on

the height of the ceiling, when compared with normal flash operation.

Therefore, you should use the largest aperture (smaller f-number)

possible and bracket your exposures.
