Fill-in flash and Light diffusing panel

For short distance or portrait flash photography, we wish if the light is 

not too sharp or too strong to the subject.  Use fill-in reflector flash or 

diffuse the light.

If the subject is close(within 2 meter), turn the flash 

head 90° upward and pull out the fill-in reflector as 

shown in the picture.

Take a picture as usual. A blink of fill-in flash 

freshens up the subject in natural image.

This technology is also useful to eliminate 

the shadow on the subject under the tree.
For portrait photography, pull out the light diffusing panel and place it 

over the flash window as shown in the picture.  The diffusing panel 

makes the flash light soften and creates a lively color effect on the 

subject.

Since the light diffusing panel expands the lighting area, it covers the 

range of 16mm focal length lens.

This small blink of flash is also useful when 

taking a picture of baby without scaring 

him.
