FEATURES OF THE MACRO FLASH  
Flashtubes  
This macro flash has two flashtubes, one on each side of the flash. The tubes can be turned on

one of the flashtubes, push the corresponding switch to the side with the “ON” label.  
While the two flashtubes are on, you can get a homogeneous, shadowless illumination for your  
target. If you turn off one of the flashtubes, shadow could be created, which gives the subject a  
three-dimensional feel.

could eliminate the shadows around the subject.
