Nikon SB-600
This lower-cost unit (see Figure 12.14) has a guide number of 30/98 (meters/feet) at
ISO 100 when set to the 35mm zoom position. It has many of the SB-900’s features,
including zoomable flash coverage equal to the field of view of a 16-56mm lens on the
D7000 (24-85mm settings with a full-frame camera), and 14mm with a built-in dif-
fuser panel. Like the SB-700, it has a built-in modeling flash feature, and does not have
repeating flash, accessory filters, or the optional flash diffuser. Other differences include:
■ Multiple flash exposure modes. The SB-600 does not offer AA or A automatic,
non-TTL exposure modes, but does support i-TTL, D-TTL (for the Nikon D1
series and D100), TTL Auto Flash for many Nikon film cameras, and Manual flash
modes. (Output can be varied only from 1/1 to 1/64 power.)
