Maintenance And Care - Metz MECABLITZ 20 C-2 Bedienungsanleitung

reflector is turned in such a manner that the
flash is bounced off a suitable reflective surfa-
ce (e.g. ceiling or wall of the room).
The reflector can be turned vertically up to
90°.
When turning the reflector vertically, it is
essential to ensure that it is moved by a suffi-
ciently wide angle so that direct light can no
longer fall on the subject. Consequently,
always turn the reflector at least to the 60°
lock-in position.
The light bounced off the reflecting surface
produces a soft and uniform illumination of the
subject. The reflecting surface must be white or
have a neutral colour, and it must not be struc-
tured, e.g. wooden beams in a ceiling might
cause shadows. For colour effects just select
the reflective surface in the desired colour.
Take into account that the maximum flash
range is considerably diminished when
bouncing the flash. The following rule of
thumb will help you determine the maxi-
mum flash range for a room of normal
height:
Maximum flash range = –––––––––––––––––––––––––
