This is an inexpensive little slave flash that actually works. I have a Canon A570 and, like most small digicams, it has a fairly weak builtin flash. It couldn't illuminate properly more than 10 feet away and I also didn't like the glare on faces from below 7 or 8 feet. This is typical with direct builtin flash. When using this flash, I generally turn off the camera redeye preflash and set the camera to the manual Aperture setting with the aperture set to f4.5. I also set the flash control on the camera to the 2/3 setting. I set the Sunpak to slave mode. So, when the camera flash fires, the Sunpak also fires and I get much better photos, especially when I bounce the flash off a white ceiling. Much more natural and even lighting effect with a nice modelling effect on faces. One thing about this flash is that it comes with a stand, but not a bracket to use next to the camera. I had to buy that separately as using a the stand is not always convenient.
Buy Sunpak DS-20 5-Position Bounce-Tilt Shoe Mounted Flash with Wireless Auto Slave.!
