the 35mm setting. See your

i-TTL. Supports i-TTL, D-TTL, TTL,
and full Manual operation.
Slow Sync. Enables you to match
the ambient background lighting
with the flash so the background
doesn’t end up black.
Red-eye reduction. Fires off a pre-
flash to contract the pupils to avoid
“devil-eyes.”
AF-Assist light. Emits an array of
light from an LED to assist in focus-
ing in low-light situations.
FP High-Speed Sync. Allows you
to shoot with a shutter speed
higher than the rated sync speed
of the camera. This is useful when
shooting portraits in bright light
using a wide aperture to blur the
background. Works with D200,
D2X, and D2H camera bodies.
Modeling flash. Releases a short
burst of flashes allowing you to see
what the light falling on your sub-
ject looks like. Works with D200,
D2X, and D2H camera bodies.
Tilting/rotating flash head for
bouncing flash. Allows you to
point the flash head up for bounc-
ing light from the ceiling or to the
side to bounce off of the wall.
Main parts
Even though the SB-600 Speedlight is simi-
lar to the SB-800, it is still important to go
over each of the important parts of the
equipment. I’ve included figures and expla-
nations of the parts and features to give you
a better understanding of how each is used.
Flash head. This is where the
flashbulb is located. Inside is a
mechanism that zooms the flash-
bulb back and forth to provide
flash coverage for lenses of differ-
ent focal lengths. The flash head is
adjustable; it can be tilted upward
to 90°. It can also be adjusted hori-
zontally 180° to the left or 90° to
the right.
Flash head lock release button.
This button releases the flash head
lock allowing you to adjust the
angle for bounce flash.
Battery compartment lid. Slide
this downward to open the battery
compartment to change out the
batteries.
Light sensor for TTL wireless
flash. This sensor reads signals
from Commander units enabling
wireless flash.
