11. Use Reflection Board to Take Photos

With the reflection of board flash, pull out the reflection board and the wide-angle diffusion board out from the light head at the same time and then push the wide-angle diffusion board 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 light).

This function can reach optimal effect when the flasher head is up 90°.

12.Use Wide-angle Diffuser

Pull out the wide-angle diffusion board, push back the reflection board and arrange them as per the figure; in such case, the effect will be softer and more natural.
