The following functions are available when used with cameras so
equipped. Set these functions on the camera. They cannot be set on
the SB-500 directly.

refer to the camera user’s manual.
Auto FP high-speed sync
High-speed flash synchronization up to a compatible camera’s highest
shutter speed is possible.
• Auto FP high-speed sync mode is automatically set when the shutter
speed exceeds the camera’s highest flash sync speed.
• This is useful even in daylight when a wider aperture is required to
achieve shallow depth of field to blur the background.
• Auto FP high-speed sync also operates in Advanced Wireless
Lighting.
• Available flash control modes are i-TTL flash control and manual
flash control.
• For effective flash output distance range for i-TTL flash control
and the guide numbers for auto FP high-speed sync, refer to
“Specifications.” (

maintains the subject’s illumination, even if the composition changes.
• FV lock also functions in the Advanced Wireless Lighting.
• Operable flash control mode is i-TTL flash control only.
