Speedlights
(continued)
♦SB-600: This high performance Speedlight has a Guide Number of
30/98 (m/ft, 35-mm zoom head position, ISO 100) and supports i-
TTL, TTL, and manual fl ash control. Flash sync mode, including slow
and rear-curtain sync, can be set from the camera. When used with
the D2X, the SB-600 supports Auto FP High-Speed Sync for sync
speeds faster than ½
50 s, Flash Color Information Communication for
optimal white balance, and FV Lock for recomposing photos without
changing fl ash level. With an SB-800 acting as a master fl ash, Ad-
vanced Wireless Lighting allows the SB-600 to serve as a remote slave
fl ash in i-TTL and manual fl ash control modes. The built-in AF-assist
illuminator can be used with all of the D2X’s eleven focus areas. For
bounce-fl ash or close-up photography, the fl ash head can be rotated
through 90 ° above the horizontal, 180 ° left, and 90 ° right. Auto
power zoom (24–85 mm) ensures that the illuminating is adjusted in
accord with lens focal length. The built-in wide panel can be used for
an illuminating angle of 14 mm. An illuminator is included to assist in
adjusting settings in the dark. The SB-600 accepts four AA batteries
(see the Speedlight manual for details). Custom settings are available
for fi ne-tuning all aspects of fl ash operation.
When using the D2X with the SB-800 or SB-600, refer to the listing for
CLS- (Creative Lighting System) compatible or digital SLR cameras in
the Speedlight manual.
