Speedlights (External Flash Unit)
Reference Section
B Use Only Nikon Flash Accessories
Use only Nikon Speedlights. Negative voltages or voltages over 250 V applied to the accessory shoe
could not only prevent normal operation, but damage the sync circuitry of the camera or flash.
C Speedlights SB-400, SB-600, SB-700, SB-800 and SB-900
• Before using Speedlights SB-600, SB-700, SB-800 or SB-900, set the Speedlight flash control mode
to TTL. This enables the Standard i-TTL flash control to use monitor pre-flashes to adjust flash
output automatically in response to lighting conditions. Refer to the instruction manual of your
Speedlight for more information on i-TTL flash control.
• Wireless multiple flash-unit photography can be performed by setting the SB-700, SB-800, SB-900
or Wireless Speedlight Commander SU-800 to “commander,” and setting the SB-600, SB-700, SB-
800 and SB-900 to “remote flash unit.” However, the flash is not usable even if the monitor pre-
flashes are fired when the SB-900 is set to “commander.”
The Wireless multiple flash group setting is only applicable to group A. Change the setting for
both the commander and the remote flash unit to group A. Refer to the instruction manual of your
Speedlight for more information.
• When wireless multiple flash-unit photography is performed, if ISO sensitivity is set to Auto, High
ISO sensitivity auto, ISO 100-200 or ISO 100-400, it is fixed at ISO 100.
• The camera does not support Flash Color Information Communication, Auto FP High-Speed Sync,
FV lock, or AF-assist for multi-area AF when using Speedlights SB-600, SB-700, SB-800 or SB-900.
• Power zoom function can be used with Speedlights SB-600, SB-700, SB-800 or SB-900, setting
zoom head position automatically depending upon focal length.
• When using Speedlights SB-600, SB-700, SB-800 or SB-900, the edges of pictures shot at ranges
under 2 m (6 ft 7 in.) on the zoom wide-angle position may appear dark. In such cases, use the
wide-flash adapter.
• When set to STBY (standby), the Speedlight turns on and off at the same time as the camera.
Confirm on the Speedlight that the Ready-light is on.
