ADJUSTABLE REFLECTOR The reflector is adjustable to a deep or shallow fold for a 1 1/4 stop variable to help balance with existing light. On a digital camera you can see if the flash is too strong on the subject and adjust the reflector to help balance it with the existing light. The straight up position also allows you to tilt the flash for ceiling bounce light indoors.

2. New Velcro strap can be used to hold on Soft Light Reflector on flash without needing to attach Velcro pieces.

10. Soft Light Reflector works outdoors, in large rooms or a sanctuary where there are no walls or ceilings close enough to bounce flash.

11. Reduce glare on people's faces from direct flash that can be a problem when shooting digital.

12. Use with a Stofen diffuser for even softer light and shadows. Attach Velcro pieces about 1 inch from top of flash to allow room for the Stofen to slide on. Adds power to a Stofen diffuser when there are no walls to bounce off of.
