Use a Compact Mirror to Add and Diffuse Light
Did you know that a compact mirror can bounce the light from your flash just like a diffuser you buy does? With your camera pointed at your subject, hold a compact open and angled in front of the onboard flash. When you shoot, the flash bounces and adds light to dark areas around the subject and gives a nice, natural light on to your subject (which would have otherwise been harshly washed out with a flash alone).
That said, after testing this trick myself, I will say that my separate flash I paid extra for diffuses light a bit better, but the mirror trick works great in a pinch.
