Frequently Asked Questions - Pop-up Flip-it! Deluxe DEMB

How do I attach the Pop-up Flip-it! Deluxe to my camera?

Slide the flash's hot shoe mount onto your camera's hot shoe until it clicks. Secure the locking knob if present. For cameras without a hot shoe, use a compatible PC sync cord.

Can I use rechargeable batteries?</b>

Yes, NiMH rechargeable AA batteries are recommended for faster recycle times and lower cost. Avoid using old or mixed battery types.

How do I activate the pop-up feature?

Press the pop-up button on the flash unit. The flash head will spring up. To flip it forward, gently push the head forward until it locks at a 90-degree angle.

The flash is not firing. What should I check?

Ensure batteries are fresh and installed correctly. Check the hot shoe connection is secure. Verify the camera's flash sync settings. Try a manual trigger button on the flash.

What is the maximum sync speed for this flash?

The typical sync speed is 1/200th second or slower. For high-speed sync, check if your camera supports it; this flash may not support HSS.

Can I use this flash with my smartphone?

This flash is designed for cameras with a hot shoe or PC sync port. It is not directly compatible with smartphones unless you use an adapter with a triggering app.

How do I clean the flash?

Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the exterior. Do not use any liquids or abrasive cleaners. Keep the flash head dry.

What does the 'Flip-it!' feature do?

The Flip-it! design allows the flash head to tilt and swivel for bounce flash photography. You can direct the light towards ceilings or walls for softer lighting.

Is the flash compatible with wireless triggers?

Suggestions for Use

The pop-up flash on your camera has limited power and delivers minimal quality. Because the lighting it produces is so flat and unattractive, many DSLR owners never even use it at all.

The good news is that recent improvements in high iso performance, plus the use of camera and flash compensation settings make my flash modifier work, and with very attractive results.

My favorite combo is: M mode, iso 650, exposure compensation of +1.7, flash compensation of +.7. In M mode you may choose a shutter speed which is high enough to counter a high percentage of window blow out when doing indoor shots in daylight hours and a good percentage of tungsten redness in indoor situations with lots of ambient tungsten.

By using different angles on the rear reflector, I have been able to get results which rival those from Flip-it! on external flashes, in both ceiling environments, and environments with no ceiling. Of course the range is shorter, the iso a little higher, and I am adding camera and flash comps. This is not for zoom shots from 30 feet away. But in the normal distance range for home family and party candids, 14 feet and closer, just pick up your camera, turn it on, and shoot. Beautiful! If you are comfortable using a higher iso, such as 1600, an exposure comp of 2.3 and a flash comp of +1 (or higher if you have it), you may extend the range even further.

I do not suggest that the Pop-up Flip-it! is a substitute for your powerful external flash or that it is for professional assignments. However, I believe that even you pros will really love it as an “off-duty” flash system for your personal photography.
