I will verify the ability of digital camera shooting light "RIFA (Rifa)"

Because of the increase in personnel of GIGAZINE's office, I moved from the 4th floor to the 2nd floor and expanded the area, but since it was the place I was using in the warehouse from the beginning, it can not be said that the light source is very substantial, As a result of coloring the photographing light with various kinds at the Yodobashi camera as a matter of what to do at the time of photographing, as a supplementary light source for photography, a digital camera photographing light "RIFA (Rifa)I bought a thing called.

Unlike ordinary lights, fluorescent light is the light source. Therefore, it will not get too hot. In addition, it is easy to handle around. Easy to store.

If you just want to brighten up, you can do something with the exposure compensation, but it is impossible for you to brighten the part that is not hit by light at the time of shooting ... .... I decided to buy it thinking that I want to solve such a problem. Will it really come up as expected?

I am concerned The points that I found after actually buying are as follows.
First of all I bought this type.

【Rakuten Ichiba】 If you shoot clothes etc! Digital camera shooting light [SD - RIFA (Rifa) - F65 × 65 light stand attaching set]: for digital camera, shooting light SD

Although it is decided by size, because six fluorescent lamps can not be used unless it is of a type larger than that. Although the brightness itself can be adjusted with the exposure compensation of the digital camera, it is still unlikely that it will not end in the end unless the light hits the original and it is not bright. Especially in the case of GIGAZINE we did not shoot such a huge object and most chose this as it fits in this 65 cm square. The price is 80 7780 yen (including postage) with tax, it is a problem that it is never cheap ... ....

The next day I ordered it has already been sent, it is early


I opened it.


Contents is like this. RIFA main body and storage case, light stand, complete set of instructions, 6 sets of fluorescent lamps.


All in all this set


Body and diffuser, extension cord etc are contained in the storage bag


Extension cord is a type with switch properly so you can operate handy handy


I opened the main body. It has become like an umbrella. It is not particularly difficult.


This is the part to light on


When pushing it in the back, the pin and the surrounding part stick to the same feeling as the jump umbrella etc.


Looking from behind like this


It is quite big if it is 65 centimeters.


Six fluorescent lamps, standard attached are kore.


I install it like this, the same as a normal bulb.


It looks like a laser weapon somehow looks a little cool.


I installed a diffuser


And attached to the attached light stand


It feels like packa flower somehow.


I tried to shine, Pika


Glare


So it is an example of shooting. This is no lighting.


There is lighting. It is different from the truth, it is on the desk where the light intensity is still insufficient.


Experiment with Advanced / W - ZERO [es] this time. Shooting is possible without any lighting.


So this is after writing. What is different about attention to the switch before the enlarged image. As the light hit and the shadows came to be attached, it became clear to see the three-dimensional feeling. Although it can be done with exposure compensation if it only makes it bright, it is difficult to show such a shadow three-dimensionally. It is highly appreciated that such directing can be easily done.


I tried it with a drink. This is normal, no lighting.


There is lighting here. Overall the color is vivid. I feel like the same as seeing with the naked eye.


So, is there a reasonable price for the price? I just need the trial and error as it is not good unless you think about the angle of writing and so on. It is not a product that I can shoot beautifully as soon as I bought it, so I want to be careful. If you say what kind of person you are satisfied with purchasing,

· People who care about lighting of the ceiling and other strange reflections when shooting
· People who do not want unnecessary shadows (people who want to control shadows)
· Someone who will take care of shooting small items somehow
· People who want to shoot cooking
· People who can secure a certain amount of photography space
· People who have problems with lighting conditions rather than cameras

I feel like it. The effect is reasonable since it is different from ordinary spot lights and more extensive lighting, but it is a fluorescent light so it is very urishy personally not to get too hot. Also, if the fluorescent light as the light source is also spiral type, it will become even brighter, so if people who are not satisfied with the brightness of pure lights are also satisfied according to usage.

As a future subject, it is still a light stand. Of this40 cm square typeIf the table top arm is not attached as shown in the figure, it is hard to understand whether the handling is a little bit painful. Especially when you want to illuminate directly from directly above, it is rugged, so where you want to align. Or I wanted you to sell it as a set from the beginning ....

On the whole it seems to be quite useful if you shoot a lot of mountains like GIGAZINE. For shooting in the case of selling to Yahoo auction later. It seems quite useful if there is such a thing. Then those who are selling things online. It seems that product shooting etc. would definitely be easier if using a kore permanently a small studio and making it even at the edge of the room.

If you just want to make it brighter, it would be easier and more effective to interfere with the exposure compensation of a digital camera. For color matching also, changing the white balance according to the type of lighting or replacing it with an excellent model with white balance function will be the fundamental solution. This is for people seeking higher levels, so be careful only there. If you look at the real thing actually displayed and try using it to shoot it, you can realize what type of product it is.
