The SB-600 features the Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS). This system
offers additional flash shooting possibilities with digital cameras by taking
advantage of a camera’s digital communication capabilities. CLS is available
only when the SB-600 is used with compatible Nikon cameras. The SB-600
offers these major features:
• i-TTL mode
This is a TTL auto flash mode in the Nikon Creative Lighting System.
Monitor Preflashes are fired at all times. The subject is correctly exposed by
the light from the flash lighting and the exposure is less affected by the
ambient light (p. 32).
• Advanced Wireless Lighting
With Advanced Wireless Lighting, wireless multiple flash operation in the
TTL (i-TTL) mode can now be accomplished with digital SLRs. In this mode,
you can divide the remote flash units into three groups and control the flash
output independently for each group, expanding your range of creative
multiple-flash shooting techniques. The SB-600 can be used only as a
wireless remote flash unit (p. 62).
• Flash Value Lock
Flash Value (FV) is the amount of flash exposure needed for a subject.
Using FV Lock with compatible cameras, you can lock in the appropriate flash
exposure for the main subject. This flash exposure will remain fixed, even if
you change the aperture or composition, or zoom the lens in or out (p. 50).
• Flash Color Information Communication
When the SB-600 is used with compatible digital SLRs, color temperature
information is automatically transmitted to the camera. In this way, the
camera’s white balance is automatically adjusted to give you the correct
color temperature when taking photographs with the SB-600.
•Auto FP High-Speed Sync
High-Speed flash synchronization at your camera’s highest shutter speed is
now possible. This is useful when you want to use a wider aperture to
achieve shallow depth of field to blur the background (p. 48).
• Wide-Area AF-Assist Illuminator
In autofocus operation, the SB-600 emits AF-Assist illumination over a wider
area. This enables you to perform autofocus photography in dim light even
after you change the focus area of cameras supporting this function (p. 51).
