Nikon SB-600
Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Nikon
introduces the Speedlight SB-600, a compact flash packed with
impressive functionality inherited from the renowned SB-800. It
serves as a solid base for the Nikon Creative Lighting System when
used in combination with Nikon D70 or D2H digital SLRs.
When used in combination with
Nikon's latest digital SLRs, the D70 or D2H, the SB-600 supports
Advanced Wireless Lighting as a remote Speedlight that can be
positioned as one of multiple remote flashes to significantly extend
creative possibilities. To assist in such situations, the Speedlight
SB-600 also has two Ready Lights located on both the left and right
of the front that can be easily seen from a distance. The SB-600 can
also emit an audible alert for further assistance.
Auto FP High-Speed Sync enables the
use of Fill-Flash even in bright daylight with wide aperture
settings for the achievement of outstanding results and new creative
possibilities, including the effective blurring for of out-of-focus
background elements. An optional color filter set SJ-1 is also
available, allowing imaginative shooting to be pushed even further.
White balance is optimized through
the use of flash color information obtained by the Speedlight. The
SB-600 also features FV lock, which gives the user the convenience
of being able to maintain the measured flash value while recomposing
the shot to achieve the appropriate flash output for the subject.
It also offers uncomplicated
operation made simpler by an easy-to-view LCD with only six buttons,
each of which is backlit and simple to understand.
The Nikon Speedlight SB-600 also
delivers plenty of style, both in its compact dimensions and a
triangular motif consistent with the Nikon D-SLR theme.
The Nikon Speedlight SB-600 comes
complete with a Speedlight stand and a soft case, while two flash
cables (the SC-29 and SC-28) and the Color Filter Set (SJ-1) are
available as options.
