Flash Photography with Color Filters
v Notes on using SJ-4 color fi lters
These filters are consumable items. Replace them when they •
deteriorate or their colors fade.
The heat generated from the flash head can warp the filters. •
However, this will not affect their performance.
Scratches on the filters will have no effect on performance unless the •
filters fade in color.
To remove dust or dirt, wipe the filter lightly with a soft, clean cloth.•
Balancing light from the flash using color
compensation filters and color filters
When a color compensation fi lter is attached to the SB-700 while
the camera’s white balance is set to auto or fl ash, fi lter information is
automatically transmitted to the camera, and the camera’s optimum
white balance is automatically adjusted to give the correct color
temperature.
When a SJ-4 color filter is attached to the SB-700, set the camera’s •
white balance to auto, flash or direct sunlight.
When using the SB-700 with a camera not equipped with fi lter •
detection (D2 series, D1 series, D200, D100, D80, D70 series, D60,
D50, D40 series), set the camera’s white balance according to the
fi lter in use while referring to the following table.
For more details on white balance, see your camera user’s manual.•
