At 3.2 ounces, photographers can mount this speedlight on their camera and shoot comfortably, without noticing a significant change in camera weight and handling. To make it less obtrusive, the flash's shoe allows the flash to be rotated down by 50-degrees, nearly flush with the camera top. The SB-30 covers a wide-angle area of 28mm, consistent with popular wide-angle zoom lenses, and can cover up to 17mm with the built-in wide flash filter. The same 50-degree downward tilt also allows users to shoot on-camera close-ups at 1 to 3.3 feet from the subject. A new safety lock system ensures that the SB-30 is tightly fastened to the camera in use.Advanced Operations Encapsulated in the SB-30's compact body is an advanced circuitry that provides users with features typically found in higher-end flash units. A new built-in wireless mode lets the SB-30 fire synchronously, triggered from as far as 131 feet (manual mode) by other speedlights in the Nikon Multiple Flash System (Maximum range varies with ambient light brightness). Using its built-in infrared filter, the SB-30 can act as a remote commander for triggering other Nikon speedlights during a multiple flash set-up. This compact speedlight has a guide number of 52 (At 28mm setting, ISO 100), and a minimum recycle time of approximately four seconds in full power manual mode, when using fresh batteries.Seamless Functionality The SB-30 works seamlessly wi
