The diffuser also softens the light, providing an alternative when no surface is available for bouncing the flash
(see Bouncing Your Flash on page 26).
Using the Autofocus-Assist Light
Camera autofocus systems can have difficulty locking onto a subject in dim light. When the ambient light level
is low, the VS-510S will emit a red autofocus-assist beam when you press your camera's shutter-release
button halfway to autofocus. The camera will then be able to autofocus by locking onto the projected light.
