Using the catchlight panel when shooting a portrait enables you to
capture reflected light in a person’s eyes and create a more vivid
expression.
1
Turn the flash head 90° up.
2
Pull up the wide panel.
Pull up the protruding area located in
the center of the wide panel.
X The white catchlight panel is pulled
out at the same time.
3
Push back the wide panel.
Push back the wide panel only,
keeping just the catchlight panel up.
Shoot using the same method as
bounce flash.
Catchlight Shooting
Position the flash head toward the front and 90° up. When the flash head
is rotated to the left or right, the catchlight is not very effective.
To effectively obtain the catchlight in a person’s eyes, shoot within
approx. 1.5 m/4.9 ft. from the subject (at ISO 100 with f/2.8).
Do not pull up the wide panel with excessive force. Doing so may detach
the wide panel from the Speedlite.
