CONTROLS IN DETAIL-continued
Flash Head®
The SB-14's movable flash head can be tilted back up
to 120° and rotated 120° to the left and 120° to the right;
click-stops are provided at 30°, 60°, 90° and 120° 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.
