Nikon SB-800 TTL AF
Shoe Mount Speedlight
The i-TTL
Flash Control system supports automatic
balanced fill flash that delivers
outstanding results as well as new creative
possibilities. i-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash
flash control employs Nikon's Advanced Data
Communication system to introduce an
improved method for the monitor pre-flash
and wireless operation that marks an
evolution in higher precision over Nikon's
acclaimed D-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash control
system and forms the core of the Creative
Lighting System.
The Nikon Speedlight SB-800 makes Advanced
Wireless Lighting (= wireless multiple
flash) as easy to use as a single on-camera
speedlight, inviting professional and
advanced amateur photographers to explore
the unlimited creative possibilities.
Advanced Wireless Lighting lets you divide
SB-800 Speedlights into 4 groups, including
the Master and 3 remote i-TTL speedlight
groups, to achieve total lighting control.
All groups can be controlled from the
Master, including independent flash mode
([TTL] / [AA] / [A] / [M]) settings and
any-time adjustment of flash output level
compensation values for each group. Each of
the three remote groups can contain any
number of Speedlights, giving photographers
full control over how they illuminate the
background.
With Distance Priority Manual Flash Mode,
the photographer can set the distance and
aperture, and the SB-800 automatically sets
the power output, a great feature for manual
flash [M] shooting at weddings and for
product shots.
The FV Lock (Flash Value Lock) maintains the
flash value for correct exposure of the
subject while zooming or otherwise changing
the composition for a shot, so photographers
can concentrate on lighting a particular
subject.
Auto FP High Speed Sync Mode provides ample
fill-in flash when shooting in bright light
with fast aperture lenses to achieve
effective blur in the background. When the
mode is active, the camera automatically
uses high-speed flash synchronization to
make shutter speeds available that exceed
the camera's own flash sync speed.
A Modeling Flash allows photographers to
visually preview the lighting effects for
all groups of speedlights when using
Advanced Wireless Lighting to shoot with
multiple flash units, a great aid in
achieving the exact lighting desired.
The SB-800 is also fully compatible with
existing Nikon cameras, retaining the same
functions as the SB-80DX when used with
them. Auto flash control uses D-TTL on Nikon
DX Format digital SLR cameras and TTL and
Non-TTL Auto Flash on film cameras. Advanced
i-TTL requires support for the Creative
Lighting System and is currently available
only on the D2H.
With its ease of use and unlimited creative
potential, the Speedlight SB-800 will be
welcomed by photographers who want complete,
yet simple control over their lighting. |
