The wide panel diffuses the light of the flash, making it effective
when you want to use a softer light or shooting close-ups.

Bounce flash

Mostly when shooting indoors, you can
use the ceiling or walls to reflect the light
of the flash (Bounce flash). Bounce flash
can reduce hard shadows and result in
more natural pictures. Bounce flash can
also be convenient when shooting babies
and toddlers for whom a direct flash
would be too harsh.
• You can change the angle of the flash
head upwards and set it to 45˚→60˚→
75˚→90˚.
