Description

Multi-purpose soft mask

The present invention relates to a diffuser, which is applied to a camera flash, and in particular to a multi-purpose diffuser for converting a general flash into a macro photography.

The flash is a very important accessory for the camera. It can provide a fill light effect when the light source of the shooting environment is insufficient. In addition, it can also provide additional light source supplement for the object to be photographed, or special shooting effect. Generally speaking, the flash includes two types of built-in and external. The built-in flash is the basic type, which is only used as a fill light for general photography. The external flash is mostly a high-end accessory, depending on its use. Different external flash units can be selected.

For example, a common external flash is mounted on the camera to provide a brighter light source and can be used to set a variety of photographic parameters and modes, but it still does not deviate from the general photography, basically the light source can only go forward. It is not suitable for macro photography, and it is not suitable for macro photography. Another kind of flash for laser photography can refer to the new patent of CN 207360071U, which uses multiple (generally two) light sources. Extends to the rear of the object to be taken, complements the light source behind it, and can be used as macro photography. However, because the two flash types are different, if the user needs to perform both general photography and macro photography when going out, they must carry both the general flash and the macro photography flash, plus the phase. Close accessories, such as batteries, wires, etc., are very bulky to carry.

For example, the new patent of the Republic of China Patent Bulletin No. M511630 proposes a multi-functional diffuser for making uniform light source macro photography and general photography, although its name is claimed to be used for macro photography and general photography, but its content According to the above, "the best shooting quality can be obtained through the excellent lighting effect of the diffuser when shooting, and the concentrated light of the conventional flash can not be improved to achieve a uniform fill light, and the image effect of the shot is lost. With its structure and related descriptions, it can only be regarded as an improved diffuser, and it is still quite difficult to use as a light source for macro photography.

Therefore, how to integrate the two kinds of flash lamps is easy to carry, which is an urgent problem to be solved in the technical field.

In view of this, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-purpose diffuser that can solve the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, and indeed provides an effective light source for converting a general flash lamp into a macro photography, thereby eliminating the need of the user. Carrying the two flashlights, the structure is simple and easy to mass produce.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a versatile diffuser comprising a cover, a first soft cloth, a second soft cloth, and at least one reflective soft plate, the cover being mounted on the camera flash. In order to guide the light of the flash light downward, the first soft light cloth is installed in the cover body, so that the light of the flash light is emitted and then softened by the soft cloth for the first time, after the first softening The light will be in the cover body, the scattering effect of the inner surface of the cover body and the multi-angle shape of the cover body, for the second softening effect, and then by the second softness installed adjacent to the cover body and shielding the opening Light cloth, for the third softening effect, then shoot out and cooperate The reflective soft plate mounted on the cover body and extending downwardly from the opening to concentrate the emitted light reflection on the object to be photographed, so that the angles of the object to be photographed can fully obtain effective soft light, and reach Complete shooting results. Therefore, the light after the three softening effects is very effective, and can be effectively and surely used as a light source for macro photography, so that the general flash can be used as a flash for macro photography.

On the other hand, a light bar can be additionally provided in the cover body, which can be used for auxiliary focusing, which is more convenient for shooting at night, and can also be used as a light source for filling light without using a flash.

The details of the present invention, the technical content, the features and the effects achieved by the present invention will be more readily understood by the detailed description of the specific embodiments.

When the cover 10 is folded and formed, it presents a polygonal cover type with a main single opening at the bottom, and the rear (upper right as shown in the figure) is a connection port for the camera's flash installation. To guide the light down, it can solve the lack of the conventional flash that can only be played forward. The three reflective flexible plates 21, 22, and 23 are respectively located on the front side and the left and right sides of the opening, and the light emitted from the opening and diverged can be reflected again under the cover 10 so that the object can receive the light at various angles. Adding a design to the scattering surface will make the light more soft (homogenized) (detailed later).

In actual use, as shown in FIG. 4, the flash 71 of the camera 70 is mounted behind the cover 10, so that the flash 71 is attached to the connector 10, and the connection between the flash 71 and the cover 10 can be carried out by a strap. The way of the devil's felt, and can adapt to the flash 71 of various different aspects, of course, as mentioned above, this connection mode is only an illustration, and is not intended to limit the connection in this way. In addition to the foregoing changing the direction of the light, the cover 10 is required to be used with two soft cloths (the first soft cloth 31 and the second soft cloth 32) to make the light completely soft and can be applied to macro photography. The first soft cloth 31 is mounted adjacent to the flash 71 to provide a first softening effect, and the second soft cloth 32 is mounted near the opening of the cover 10, that is, the position of the bottom end of the cover 10, and The inner surface of the cover 10 is designed as a scattering surface 101, so that the light struck thereon is disorderly diffused, and the polygonal shape of the cover 10 is matched to allow the light to be reflected in the cover 10 for multiple times. Diffuse, and let the light be softened for the second time; then the second softening cloth passes through the second soft cloth before the light is emitted, and after three times of softening, the light emitted by the flash 71 will It is completely softened, and it can be shot very evenly on the object to be taken for macro photography.

In actual operation, please refer to Figure 5. After the installation and erection is completed, the light from the flash 71 will be emitted (parallel forward), and then the first soft cloth 31 will be passed first, and the first softening effect will be performed. It is to be noted that the position of the first soft cloth 31 can be changed according to actual use requirements, and it can be placed close to the flash 71, or even adjacent to the flash 71, and the soft cloth (including the first soft cloth 31 and the second soft) Light cloth 32) can be used for various types of translucent cloths, various papers (bee paper, tracing paper, etc.), plastic plates, foams, sponges, etc., which can pass light and soften; after the first softening The applied light enters the space between the first soft cloth 31 and the second soft cloth 32, and is subjected to the scattering surface 101 of the cover 10, and the polygonal design of the cover 10 allows the light to be The cover 10 is continuously reflected and subjected to multiple diffusions, which is a second softening effect; wherein the scattering table The surface 101 can be a (not) regular concave and convex surface, which can be a non-flat surface such as a wave, a atomized, a zigzag, a granular shape, etc., and the light can be reflected in a non-standard manner to achieve softening. Effect.

Then, the light after the second softening is emitted through the second soft cloth 32, and the second softening cloth 32 generates a third softening effect, and then the light is hit under the cover 10, The object 90 to be photographed in front of the lens of the camera 70 has been softened three times, so that the light emitted is very uniform, so that the light received by the object 90 in each direction (or even the rear) is very soft and uniform, and can indeed be performed. Macro photography. The functions of the reflective soft plates 21, 22, 23 can effectively block natural light sources (such as sunlight, etc.) or other artificial light sources (such as lights, electric lights, etc.) from the outside, so that the light of the object to be photographed 90 comes from the camera 70. The flash 71 can fully control the light so that it is not interfered by external light, and can obtain better shooting effects. At the same time, it can also reflect the softening and diverging light to the object to be photographed 90. Similarly, the shapes of the reflective flexible plates 21, 22, 23 are merely illustrative, and are not intended to limit the shape of the reflective flexible plates 21, 22, and any other shapes are not departing from the scope of the present invention. The cover 10 is made of the same material; on the other hand, the surfaces of the reflective soft plates 21, 22, 23 can also be designed with the same scattering surface 211, 221, 231 as the cover 10, so that the reflected light can be softened for the fourth time. Evenly, the light is incident on the object to be photographed 90, so that all parts and angles (even the back side of the object to be photographed 90) can receive the light uniformly and thoroughly softened, which can be regarded as the fourth softness. Effect In the first place, the general flash 71 can be used as a flash for a macro photography.

As shown in FIG. 6, the cover 10 may be additionally provided with a light bar 11 for assisting focusing, which is more convenient for shooting at night, and also without using the flash 71. As a light source of fill light, no need to hold a light source to help the illumination; the light bar 11 can be directly connected to an external mobile power source for power supply, and the light emitted by the light bar 11 can also be softened by the soft cover of the present invention. The light source of the fill light is also more uniform.

In summary, the versatile diffuser provided by the present invention can be used as a macro photography by three softening actions and guiding the light of the flash that can only be driven forward to be turned downward. A dedicated flash is used to eliminate the need to carry two separate flash units.

The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any changes or modifications to the features and spirits described in the scope of the present application are intended to be included in the scope of the present patent application.
