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.
