♦SB-800 Speedlight
This high performance Speedlight has a Guide Number of 53/174 (m/
ft, 35-mm zoom head position, ISO 200, 20 °C/68 °F; GN at ISO 100
is 38/125) and supports i-TTL, TTL, auto aperture (AA), non-TTL auto
(A), manual, and repeating fl ash control. Flash sync mode, including
slow and rear-curtain sync, can be set from the camera. When used
with the D2H, the SB-800 supports Auto FP High-Speed Sync for
sync speeds faster than ½50 s (repeating fl ash mode excluded), Flash
Color Information Communication for natural color balance, FV Lock
for recomposing photos without changing fl ash level, and Advanced
Wireless Lighting with support for i-TTL, auto aperture, manual, and
repeating fl ash control. The built-in AF-assist illuminator can be used
with all of the D2H’s eleven focus areas. For bounce-fl ash or close-up
photography, the fl ash head can be rotated through 90 ° above and
7 ° below the horizontal, 180 ° left, and 90 ° right, while soft lighting
can be achieved with the supplied SW-10H bounce adapter. Auto
power zoom (24–105 mm) ensures that the illuminating is adjusted in
accord with lens focal length. The built-in wide panel can be used for
illuminating angles of 14 mm and 17 mm. An illuminator is included
to assist in adjusting settings in the dark. The SB-800 accepts four
AA batteries (fi ve AA batteries when powered by the supplied SD-
800 battery pack) or SD-6, SD-7, or SD-8A power sources (available
separately). Custom settings are available for fi ne-tuning all aspects
of fl ash operation.

Nikon fi lters can be divided into three types: screw-in, drop-in, and rear-
interchange.
Use Nikon fi lters; fi lters man u fac tured by other makers
may interfere with au to fo cus or elec tron ic range fi nd ing.
• The D2H can not be used with linear polarizing fi lters. Use the C-PL
circular polarizing fi lter instead.
• The NC and L37C fi lters are recommended for pro tect ing the lens.
•
When using an R60 fi lter,
set exposure compensation to +1.
•To prevent moiré, use of a fi lter is not recommended when the sub-
ject is framed against a bright light, or when a bright light source is
in the frame.
• Color matrix and 3D color matrix metering may not produce the de-
sired results when used with fi lters with an exposure factor (fi lter fac-
tor) over 1 × (Y44, Y48, Y52, O56, R60, X0, X1, C-PL, ND2S, ND4S,
ND4, ND8S, ND8, ND400, A2, A12, B2, B8, B12). We recommend
center-weighted metering. For details, see the manual provided with
the fi lter.
