Most people have seen those very slick flexible reflectors that are reflective silver on one side and white on the other.
They are called FlexFills
Every pro shooter (stills and motion) has at least one of them and they are great for reflecting light to where you want it.
Only trouble is like lots of photo gear they are expensive. minimum is like $50 for a small one.
There is a fantastic alternative sitting almost every dollar store and dept. store that costs almost nothing and does quite decent job and will fold away just the expensive ones.
A car windshield sun shade.
Go to a store and search till you find one with a nice shiny or silvery matt reflective surface depending on what you need. heck why not buy both.
They typically don't have a white side but if you need a pure white reflector then walk down the aisle and buy $1's worth of form core board and you have all situations covered.
If you get the foam core just run some duct tape around the edges to keep it in good shape.
for under $5 you'll have a really decent set of reflectors that will give you loads of new options to paint with light and experiment without breaking the bank.
shine on you crazy diamonds!!!

I know this is an old thread but just wanted to point out that if your buttons are set up for back button focus and you want to use CIF, as johnyates says above, you need to press and hold AF before you depress the shutter release. Then CIF should work as advertised, that was how I finally got it working on my K-5iis after a long confusing session trying to make it happen.

The palm in my front yard started growing new fronds and I had to capture the amazing way in which they form.
