Direct flash causes harsh, unattractive shadows to appear on the faces of subjects in front of a wall. By bouncing the light off the ceiling or walls, you can soften the shadows and produce more natural portraits.

The flash head rotates from the horizontal to the vertical position along a 180° arc.

Built-in diffuser card
