depending on voltage, ash duration and such. Data on each
of these details is transmitted to the camera body and used in
achieving optimum white balance.
FV Lock
FV Lock (Flash Value Lock) is the ash equivalent of AE Lock. It
maintains the measured ash value once the light meter is used
to obtain a correct ash exposure reading for a key part of the
subject. The photographer can then change the compensation
while achieving the appropriate ash value for the subject.
AUTO FP High-Speed Sync
When activated via Custom Setting "e1" on the D2H, Auto
FP automatically res in TTL Auto or A-A (as well as Manual)
modes at shutter speeds up to 1/8,000 second to provide
ample ll-in ash in bright light and with fast aperture lenses.
The ability to shoot with the aperture open wide means
effective blur can be achieved in the background.
Distance Priority Manual Flash Mode
You set the focal distance and aperture, and the SB-800
automatically sets the power output to maintain a constant
ash exposure value. This is a great feature for manual ash
when shooting weddings, product shots, or in other conditions
where the subject remains at a set distance.
Modeling Flash
The new modeling ash res a stroboscopic
burst of light for approx. 1 second to allow the
photographer to visually conrm lighting effects,
including the location of shadows and reective
objects, before shooting.
Quick Recycling Battery Pack
The new SD-800 Quick Recycling Battery Pack
adds a fth battery to quicken recycling time to as
short as 2.9 seconds for full power manual ash.
Color Filters
The Speedlight SB-800 ships with two lters developed
exclusively for digital cameras. One is for tungsten and the other
for uorescent lighting. The optional SJ-1 Color Filter Package
includes an additional twenty lters designed either to
compensate for ash colors or to add creative expression.
Compatible with existing Speedlights
(SB-80DX/50DX, etc.)
The D2H is compatible with the D-TTL ash control of
Nikon SB-80DX/50DX(/28DX) Speedlights.
The SB-800 is backward compatible with previous
Speedlights and with previous digital and lm
cameras, which use it with the same control as
provided by the SB-80DX.
Advanced Wireless Lighting
(Wireless remote multi-ash)
Up to 4 groups of SB-800s can be operated for total lighting
control, including the Master Controller and 3 remote groups, with
each group consisting of any number of SB-800s. The master unit
and individual groups can be set to different modes, (i-TTL, AA,
A, or M), and the differences in brightness on the surface of the
subject can be set for the master and for each remote Speedlight,
so the ash output ratio can be set regardless of the distance to
the subject after the remote is
repositioned. These settings
are made and conrmed
on the Master Controller's
large dot-matrix LCD with
easy-to-see graphics. A choice
of four frequency channels
prevents interference with
other photographers, or one
SB-800 from triggering others.
One important feature of the new system is that the ash
compensation can be adjusted on the y for each group, including
the Master Controller. Additionally, this wireless system can be set
up without the hassle of add-on accessories such as cables or
stands. Multi-ash photography can be as easy to use as a single
Speedlight mounted on a camera. And, with a little practice, it can
be exploited to produce a limitless number of effects.
Flash Color Information
The SB-800 realizes a new high level of color accuracy when
used with the D2H. When in Auto White Balance mode, ash
color information from the master SB-800 attached to the D2H is
transmitted to the camera's body. Flash color information varies
New Creative Lighting System
New Speedlight SB-800 with wireless i-TTL ash control evolves
the technology beyond the D-TTL of the D1 series, and introduces
features that include Advanced Wireless Lighting -- wireless
remote control over multiple ashes, Flash Value Lock (FV
Lock), AUTO FP High-Speed Sync, and Flash Color Information
Communication. Also new is the Wide Area AF Assist Illuminator
that is tailored to the new D2H's 11-area Multi-CAM 2000 AF
Sensor Module. Additional features include a built-in wide ash
adapter for 14mm wideangle lens coverage, GN 38/53 (ISO
100/200, at 35mm), and ash coverage from 35mm up 105mm in
5mm zoom steps when using the Auto Zoom function.
Nikon's i-TTL technology introduces an improved method for
the monitor pre-ash. It also adopts an advanced new data
communication protocol, improves the S/N ratio, improves
accuracy of measurement when using bounce, and it features
wireless operation. The D2H is optimized to take full advantage of
the new i-TTL system.
Automatic balanced i-TTL ll ash
The brighter, shorter pre-ash scheme realized by i-TTL
improves the accuracy of the monitor pre-ash used by the
system's AE Sensor to evaluate ash exposure and perform an
automatic balanced ash that delivers outstanding results and
new creative possibilities.
An entirely new generation of Speedlight System was
developed to realize the full potential of the D2H
When used with the new SB-800 Speedlight,
the new Creative Lighting System delivers enough new features and possibilities
that it takes a new generation of camera to completely tap the potential.
The Total Imaging System just took a large step forward.
