for
both tilting and rotating movements. For normal shooting,
point the flash head straight ahead. In this position, the
light travels directly out to the subject providing the
maximum amount of light possible. However, to soften
the shadows and lower the contrast for indoor snapshots,
you
can tilt the flash head up and simultaneously rotate
it
to the left or right to bounce the light off the ceiling or
walls. Consult the illustration for details. Note that unless
the surface
you
are using to bounce the light off of is
white or Silver, your color photographs will come out
with an unnatural color cast similar to that of the reflect-
ing surface.
The color temperature of the SB-14's light output is
balanced for use with daylight type color film.

Note:
When the flash head
is
tilted up to
120°,
rotation is
somewhat
restricted;
and depending
on
the amount of
rotation,
tilt
might be re-
stricted.
