OTHER FEATURES
AF assist light emitter
Under the low light condition or in a dark place, AF assist light will automatically
emitt the red colored beam and illuminate the subject so that the camera can
easily focus the subject in darkness.
Fill-in reflector and Light diffusing panel built-in
For short distance or portrait flash photography, the light should not be 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 small blink of flash is also useful when
taking a picture of baby without scaring him.
Pull out the light diffusing panel and place it
over the flash window as shown in the picture.
The diffusing panel softens the flash light and
creates a lively color effect upon the subject.
Since the light diffusing panel expands the
lighting area, it covers the range of 18mm of
focal length lens.
