15 E N -r.ax 0 The flash head of the AF 280T features full 105° vertical and 180° horizontal rotation which is highly convenient for bounce flash and other special flash techniques. Bouncing the light off of ceilings or walls is a very effective way of avoiding the flat lighting or harsh shadows which often accompany direct flash lighting. Bounce Flash on Auto: When bounce flash is performed in either the TTL Auto or Two-Level Auto flash modes, compensation isn't required as the automatic flash sensor automatically computes the exposure. Moreover, to assure that the angle you have chosen includes your subject, you can perform a test flash by first pressing the 'Test" button at either two-level Auto modes; if your subject is correctly exposed, the A. CHECK lamp will light in green after you press the test button; if it doesn't, exposure adjustments are required. 23
