DIY built-in pop-up flash diffuser

There no need to buy a pop-up flash diffuser because there is a simple guide which you can do it yourself. You may ask why do we need a pop-up flash diffuser for? The reason is that the build in flash is so small, it is a very hard light source and it can not be bounced.

As you can see from the picture above it is very easy. What you need is just a wire hanger and a vacuum bag(use for the diffusing material). Follow the two picture below to shape your wire hanger. Dun worry it just take trial and error to get it right.

One thing to take note while you bend the wire, try to bend the wire along the side of the flash hot shoe. Because the wire’s plastic coat will eventually come
off, you do not want to short-circuit the pins on the hot shoe base.
