Bounce Lighting
Bounce flash means to take photos by bouncing the light off wall or ceiling to soften the light on the subject, and the shadow shade out, to get more desired picture.
Use Reflection Board to Take Photos
Pull out the refection board and built-in wide panel from the flash head at the same time and then push the built-in wide panel back. In such case, if this product is being used to take photos, it will produce a highlighted point on the eyes of the subject and thus make the eyes charming (catch lights). This function can reach optimal effect when the flash head is up 90°.
Use Wide-angle Diffuser
Pull out the built-in wide panel to enlarge flash lighting range, so as to get more softened and natural lighting effect.
