Can the ring stay illuminated? Or is it only flash activated? Wanting this to shoot video (artistic reflection for a specific shot).

It is a continuous light source. It is probably not bright enough to give you any kind of artistic reflection.

Yes. There is a constant on setting specifically for video use and it works quite well. You should be able to find the owners manual online in advance to be sure this fits your needs if you are still not sure.

Works fine - I've tested the flash with both the case on and off. (I had a different cast that it didn't work with so I knew to check)

It's certainly made the lighting in my videos better now, however I do plan on investing in a (Diva) ring light in the near future bc they pick up on the color pigment of makeup so well if you get a good enough quality one. For now, I am grateful for this little booger. Best wishes to you.

I don`t recommend you this LED ring for Filming because, it is not too powerful .... I bought this for photography

Hi DEBBIE MCMAHILL, if the light you are pertaining is the flash or the AF illuminator, this can be set only on shooting still images and not for video recording. -Ely

Yes. You go to Menu>Camera settings>2>Flash mode. Select "fill flash" from the menu and the flash will go off, regardless of the light levels. Naturally, the flash needs to be opened/up for this to work.

The barrier between the flash and camera keeps reflection down. The trade off is having a flash that is more focused or beam like and sometimes a strange glow but nothing that is too much for my uses. I've had no issues at all with a difference in signal.

The camera flash does work, but like with pretty much every single case I've ever had on my iPhone, it does damage the photo a little since it seems like there is an object (the case) right next to where the flash is at and it reflects. I will admit that that may be the only semi-downfall of the case.

The flash only works if there is not enough light - automatic. However, there is a menu in the camera, and I see Lamp Setting which is on when you get the camera, but you can turn it off.

Like I said earlier this is a lamp not a flash. Just make shire that the camera that you use either 1) has the same multi interface shoe to mont the lamp on. Or 2) you have an adapter to go from what ever shoe you camera has to the MI shoe the lamp has. Or 3) you have a tripod the you can screw on to the bottom of the lamp

Decidedly better. I've been using an Omni-Bounce, Gary Fong Lightsphere, etc., but getting the flash up off the camera has made a big difference. Of course, you will need a cable or do as I did and spring for a set of Phottix remote flash triggers. :)

I have no idea. When I put the ring flash on my pop-up flash does not pop up.

No. You can not even put a light ring on with this. I shoot with it all the time.

You can go on manufacturers website for a video. But, I don't think you are you are looking for that. This is only a diffusing panel. You need reflector to mount (or Velcro ) this onto. Flash light gets reflected from the reflector and then is diffused through this panel. Compared to a box diffuser, this combination gives more light. That could be a good thing as well as a bad thing. Good because you have more light directed towards the subject. Bad because it still is directed to some extent. Unlike a box diffuser, or a Gary fong diffuser, that scatter light in all directions, this is combination scatters to a part. I liked it, since, I make some varied shapes by folding the reflector and direct light in different directions, which you cannot do with others unless you turn the flash light.

I use this on my 5d and 60d with the 580ex2. I have had no issue with this ring flash. The clear plastic does seem a little more flimsy than I was expecting but works without issue.

No. I believe you will need special light for video, their latest flash has video lighting capabilities.

No, because if the subject is five feet away you should be able to use your regular flash. The light ring is made for close-up macro photography. The LEDS are not as bright as your conventional flash. If the conventional flash is to bright at five feet try to bounce it.
