Notes on Optional Speedlights
Refer to the documentation provided with Speedlight for details. If the Speedlight supports the
Creative Lighting System, refer to the section on CLS-compatible digital SLR cameras. The D60 is not
included in the “digital SLR” category in the SB-80DX, SB-28DX, and SB-50DX manuals.
The shutter will synchronize with an external flash at speeds of
1
/
200
s or slower.
i-TTL flash control can be used at ISO sensitivities between 100 and 1600. Higher values may not
produce the desired results at some ranges or apertures. If the flash-ready indicator blinks in the
viewfinder for about three seconds after a photograph is taken in i-TTL or Non-TTL auto mode, the
flash has fired at full power and the photograph may be underexposed.
The SB-400, SB-800, and SB-600 provide red-eye reduction, while the SB-800, SB-600, and SU-800
provide AF-assist illumination (the SU-800 does not provide AF-assist illumination in close-up mode).
Auto power zoom is available only with SB-800 and SB-600 Speedlights.
In the following modes, the maximum aperture (minimum f-number) varies with ISO sensitivity
(A 53).
e, g, h, i, j, l, a modes:
k mode:
For each one-step increase in sensitivity (e.g., from 200 to 400), aperture is stopped down by half an
f/-stop. If the maximum aperture of the lens is smaller than given above, the maximum value for
aperture will be the maximum aperture of the lens.
When TTL Remote Cord SC-17, 28, or 29 is used for off-camera flash photography in i-TTL mode,
correct exposure may not be achieved with i-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash control. We recommend that
you select standard i-TTL flash control. Take a test shot and view the results in the monitor.
In i-TTL mode, use the flash panel or bounce adapter provided with the Speedlight. Do not use other
panels such as diffusion panels, as this may produce incorrect exposure.
