Foreword
Thank you for purchasing the Nikon Speedlight SB-30.
The SB-30 is a compact, light, and versatile Speedlight having a guide number of 16/52
(at 28mm angle of coverage, ISO 100, m/ft, 20°C/68°F). Available flash shooting modes
are TTL auto flash, Non-TTL auto flash, and Manual flash. Wireless multiple flash operation
is also possible.
Major features of the SB-30
• The SB-30 is useful as a handy flash unit to perform TTL auto, Non-TTL auto, and Manual flash, when
used with Nikon SLRs cameras not having a built-in Speedlight.
• The SB-30 is suitable as a slave flash unit in wireless or wired multiple flash operation when used in
combination with the COOLPIX or Nikon SLRs cameras having a built-in Speedlight.
• Close-up flash photography using with the flash head tilted down is possible without detaching the
Speedlight from the camera. Wireless multiple flash operation using the SB-30 as an Infrared remote
commander is also possible to control the firing of other slave flash unit(s).
To get the most out of your Speedlight, please read this and your camera instruction manual
thoroughly before use.
• Because the SB-30 features the same TTL flash operations as those of the SB-22s, refer to those items
in the flash photography section of your camera instruction manual corresponding to SB-22s, if the
SB-30 is not listed.
