Excuse me, I see many photographers shooting indoors with flashlights. Why do you always insert a small piece in the flashlights?

The two "patches" on the flash are generally original, and the transparent honeycomb is the diffuser. For example, the diffuser on Canon 580EX2 can diffuse the flash range to the angle of view of 14mm super wide-angle lens. The other piece is used to make eye lights. When shooting, the flash is up and the opaque white film is pulled out. After flashing, the flash will bring visual light to the people in the photo.

Without these things on the flash, it can't be matched. However, you can use a soft mask as a diffuser, and you can use a transparent adhesive poker to make a hole.
