The flash can fire up to approximately 3

seconds while the button is pressed.

Flash Value Lock (FV Lock)

Flash Value represents the degree of

flash exposure for a given subject.

Engaging FV Lock maintains the desired

flash exposure during zooming or

recomposition, allowing you to concen-

trate on the scene’s lighting.

Auto FP High-Speed Sync

Enables fill-flash photography even in

bright conditions at wide apertures with

shallow depth of field unhindered by

the standard 1/250 second flash sync.

Once the mode is activated, the F6’s

rapid flash synchronization makes avail-

able shutter speeds faster than the

camera’s flash sync speed.

Wide-Area AF-Assist Illuminator

Wide-Area AF-Assist Illuminator can be

used with all 11 focus areas to provide

autofocus capability in dim lighting —

even when you change the focus area.

Distance-Priority Manual Flash
(SB-800 only)

In this mode, the SB-800 automatically

controls light output according to the

distance value and set aperture. This

means that even when shooting at dif-

ferent apertures, you can take pictures

having the same exposure.

Nikon Creative Lighting System

The Nikon F6, when used with equip-

ment compatible with Nikon’s Creative

Lighting System, supports a full range

of the most advanced flash capabilities

including i-TTL flash control. The system

elevates Nikon’s flash control capabili-

ties to unprecedented heights of preci-

sion and performance.

Advanced Wireless Lighting

Wireless multiple flash can be per-

formed just as easily as with an on-cam-

era Speedlight, affording you the free-

dom to explore the limitless creative

potential of the system. You can also

enjoy comprehensive control over scene

lighting when using Nikon’s i-TTL

Speedlights SB-800/SB-600/SB-R200 as

they can be separated into as many as

four groups (the master* and three i-

TTL Speedlight groups). Control inde-

pendent flash mode settings and adjust-

ment of compensation values for each

group’s flash output level via the master.

To pre-check a scene for illumination

and shadows, there’s the Modeling

Flash function. And each group can

comprise as many Speedlights as you

want, virtually putting you in total com-

mand of background lighting.

*SU-800 can be used as a master to trigger remote unit.

SB-600 or SB-R200 cannot be used as a master unit.

Modeling Flash

This is useful for checking illumination

levels and the shadows cast on the sub-

ject before actually taking the picture.

The master SB-800 attached to the F6 is
fitted with an orange color filter for frontal
illumination. Each of Group A’s two SB-
800s has a Diffusion Dome SW-10H
attached, and provides illumination for the
woman on the balcony, while Group B’s
two SB-800s are each fitted with an
orange color filter for illumination of the
mariachis to the right.

unit’s flash output level.
