AF Assist
When photographing in a dark environment,
it is sometimes hard for your camera’s auto-
focus sensor to find something to lock on to.
When using an SB-800 or SB-600 in a low-
light situation, the flash emits an LED pat-
tern to give your camera sensor something
to focus on. For this feature to work, you
must be using an AF lens and the camera’s
focus mode must be set to Single focus.
The AF Assist function can be turned on and
off in the CSM. By default it is on and I rec-
ommend leaving it that way.
SB-600
Turning the AF-ILL on and off on the SB-600:
1. Press the Zoom and - buttons
for two seconds to enter the
CSM.
2. Use the + and – buttons to
select the AF-ILL menu.
3. Use either the Zoom or Mode
button to turn the AF-ILL on
or off.
4. Press the On/Off button to
return to the main menu.
