t Exposure in bounce flash operation • In bounce flash, there is some light loss compared with normal flash photography (with flash head adjusted to the forward-facing position). Therefore, a 2- or 3-step wider aperture (smaller f-number) or a 2- or 3-step higher ISO sensitivity should be used when taking pictures with manual exposure. Adjust according to results. • When the flash head is not in the forward-facing position or tilted down, the SB-5000 LCD does not display the effective flash output distance range indicator. To ensure correct exposure, first confirm the effective flash output distance range and aperture with the flash head in the forward-facing position. Next, set this aperture on the camera. t Using the built-in bounce card • In bounce flash photography, use the SB-5000's built-in bounce card to make a portrait subject's eyes look more vibrant by reflecting the light in them. • Tilt the flash head up 90°. Refer to "Setting the flash head" (0E-4). E Setting the built-in bounce card Pull out the bounce card and the built-in wide panel and, while holding the bounce card, slide the built-in wide panel back into place inside the flash head. • Pull out the bounce card until it stops in the locked position. • To insert the bounce card, pull out the built-in wide panel again and slide both back into place together.

Exposure in bounce flash operation
•
In bounce flash, there is some light loss compared with normal flash
photography (with flash head adjusted to the forward-facing position).
Therefore, a 2- or 3-step wider aperture (smaller f-number) or a 2- or
3-step higher ISO sensitivity should be used when taking pictures with
manual exposure. Adjust according to results.
•
When the flash head is not in the forward-facing position or tilted down,
the SB-5000 LCD does not display the effective flash output distance
range indicator. To ensure correct exposure, first confirm the effective
flash output distance range and aperture with the flash head in the
forward-facing position. Next, set this aperture on the camera.
