Using a diffuser
It
is
also possible to diffuse the light by placing a trans
-
lucent material
,
such
as one or mo
re sheets
of tracing
paper, between the flash and
subject.
You
can
create
more pronounced diffusion by placing a certain
distance
between the diffuser
and
flash
than
by wrapping the
diffuser
around
the flash
head.
Experimentation with
different flash-to -diffuser distances and/or with more
than one diffuser is recommended
.
Notes:
1) In non-TTL
automatic
shooting,
make sure that
the diffuser does not
come between
the
S8-16's sensor and
the
subject.
2) Some
diffusion
materials may cause a slight reddish tint in color
photo
-
graphs
by decreasing the
color temperature of
the light from the fla
sh.
3)
When
a
diffuser is
used,
shooting
distance
cannot be
read
with
the
exposure calculator
dial.
