ersatile I-TTL (intelligent TTL) Speedlight compatible with FX and DX format SLRs, and the Nikon Creative Lighting System.
Multi-step power-zoom: covers a wide 24-120mm angle of view.
Intuitive operation: the large, easy-to-read LCD screen and conveniently placed controls make it easy to adjust settings.
Guide number: 25(EVEN)/28 (STD)/30 (CW) (FX-format, ISO 100, m, at 35mm). Maximum guide number: 38 (STD, FX-format, ISO 100, m, at 120mm).
Centre-weighted, Even and Standard illumination patterns can be selected to match the shooting situation at hand.
High-speed recycling time: approx. 2.5 seconds when using NiMH or alkaline batteries and approx. 3.5 seconds with lithium batteries.
A:B mode for quick wireless control: allows control of the light ratios of A and B group Speedlight units.
Firmware can be upgraded via the storage media in the attached camera.
Automatic thermal protection system: warns of excessive heat build up during high intensity firing and delays recycling time if necessary.
Automatic filter detection: Speedlight automatically adjusts the attached camera’s color temperature settings according to the color of the filter being used.
AF-Assist illumination: covers focal length of 24-135mm*. Compatible with Multi-CAM3500 AF sensors.
