♦SB-600: This high performance Speedlight has a Guide Number of
30/98 (m/ft, 35-mm zoom head position, ISO 100) and supports i-
TTL, TTL, and manual fl ash control. Flash sync mode, including slow
and rear-curtain sync, can be set from the camera. When used with
the D2Xs, the SB-600 supports Auto FP High-Speed Sync for sync
speeds faster than ½
50
s, Flash Color Information Communication for
optimal white balance, and FV Lock for recomposing photos without
changing fl ash level. With an SB-800 Speedlight or SU-800 wireless
Speedlight commander acting as a master fl ash, Advanced Wireless
Lighting allows the SB-600 to serve as a remote slave fl ash in i-TTL
and manual fl ash control modes. The built-in AF-assist illuminator
can be used with all of the D2Xs’s eleven focus areas. For bounce-
fl ash or close-up photography, the fl ash head can be rotated through
90 ° above the horizontal, 180 ° left, and 90 ° right. Auto power
zoom (24–85 mm) ensures that the illuminating is adjusted in accord
with lens focal length. The built-in wide panel can be used for an
illuminating angle of 14 mm. An illuminator is included to assist in
adjusting settings in the dark. The SB-600 accepts four AA batteries
(see the Speedlight manual for details). Custom settings are available
for fi ne-tuning all aspects of fl ash operation.
♦SB-R200: This high-performance wireless remote Speedlight has a
Guide Number of 10/32 (m/ft, ISO 100, 20 °C/68 °F). Although it
cannot be mounted on the camera accessory shoe, the SB-R200 can
be fi red remotely using an optional SB-800 Speedlight or SU-800
wireless Speedlight commander. It can held by hand, placed on an
AS-20 Speedlight stand, or mounted on the camera lens using the
SX-1 attachment for remote control and close-up i-TTL photography.
When using the D2Xs with the above Speedlights, refer to the listing
