[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 831303, member: 50197"] Just for info, early on I bought one of the small, pop on, plastic diffusers. Something like this: [IMG]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41zIhqayp4L._AC_SL1408_.jpg[/IMG] When I used it, I had issues with the flash shutting down. At the time I thought it was running through the battery much, much quicker than usual. In retrospect, I think the flash head overheated and shut things down. Regardless of the reason, I had to quit using it. The other thing is there is a small pull out diffuser built into the flash head. I had no issues using the built diffuser. It also has a small bounce "card" that pulls out of the same pocket as the diffuser. It may help to bounce some light down towards the subject when shooting close up macro. It is actually designed to be used with the flash head pointing at the ceiling, but works fine with the head horizontal when taking macro shots. [/QUOTE]
