Foreword

Thank you for purchasing the Nikon Wireless Speedlight system. To get
the most out of your Speedlight system, please read this user’s manual
thoroughly before use. Also read “Close-up Speedlight Photography
Examples,” a separate booklet that provides an overview of Speedlight
flash-shooting capabilities and contains photographic examples. Keep
your camera and Speedlight user’s manuals handy for quick reference.

Main features and functions

This Speedlight system, which features the Nikon Creative Lighting System
(CLS), provides a variety of wireless multiple flash and close-up flash operations.
The Speedlight system mainly consists of the Wireless Speedlight Commander
SU-800, which controls flash output when mounted on CLS-compatible cameras;
the Wireless Remote Speedlight SB-R200, which has a guide number of 10/33
(ISO 100, m/ft) or 14/46 (ISO 200, m/ft); and the Attachment Ring SX-1, which is
used to attach the SB-R200 to the front of the lens.
• When using CLS-compatible cameras, you can divide the Speedlight units into

three groups and control the flash output independently for each group.

• Wireless close-up flash operation is possible when the SU-800 is mounted on

a CLS-compatible camera to control the SB-R200 (p. 65).

• The SB-R200 can be attached to the front of the lens, held in your hand, or

freely positioned by using the Speedlight Stand AS-20, which comes with
the unit.

• The SU-800 features a Commander function that can trigger wirelessly remote

flash units such as the SB-R200 and SB-600 without firing itself (p. 79).

• Included with the kit are a variety of accessories to help you enjoy close-up

flash shooting, such as the Extreme Close-Up Positioning Adapter SW-11,
Color Filter Set SJ-R200, Diffuser SW-12, and Flexible Arm Clip SW-C1.

• When using the SU-800 with cameras not compatible with CLS, only close-up

flash operation (using cords) is possible in use with the optional TTL Cord
SC-30 (p. 109).
