Click Here For Package Contents:Nikon has introduced the SB-800 Speedlight as their foundation for a new Nikon Creative Lighting System. The SB-800 features powerful new i-TTL flash control system for automatic balanced fill-flash and advanced wireless lighting capabilities that delivers outstanding results and creative new possibilities. The SB-800's i-TTL Balanced Fill-Flash control utilizes Nikon's new Advanced Data Communication system to introduce improved monitor-pre-flash and wireless operation. Designed for professional photographers and photo enthusiasts, the SB-800 offers new features when used with Nikon's new D2H professional digital SLR camera. These features include advanced wireless control for multiple SB-800 speedlights that are controlled by a master speedlight, new Auto FP high-speed sync, new Flash Value (FV) lock, flash color information communication for improved color accuracy and a new Wide-Area AF Assist Illuminator that is tailored to the D2H's new 11-area Multi-Cam 2000 AF sensor module. Combined with other Nikon digital SLR cameras, the SB-800 offers performance comparable to the highly successful Nikon SB-80DX speedlight. In the process of developing their new D2H Digital SLR, Nikon has created a completely speedlight flash system that could both harness the technology incorporated in this new camera system, and respond to professional photographers' needs. The resulting SB-800 speedlight features new i-TTL advanced wireless control capabilities that will find creative uses in studios, remote locations and any number of picture-taking situations where photographers need to carry a compact, versatile and powerful light system. Advanced Wireless Lighting Control for Easier Creative Lighting - The SB-800 speedlight system features wireless technology that enables photographers to fully control up to four groups of SB-800 speedlights wirelessly. This set of four includes one Master Controller and three remote groups - each of which can contain any number of SB-800 speedlights for total lighting control. A majority of features for speedlights within each group can be individually controlled from the Master Controller. These settings are made and confirmed on the Master Controller's large dot-matrix LCD screen. All speedlights within this wireless arrangement can operate in i-TTL mode for completely automatic flash exposures -- which are calculated via a new monitor pre-flash function that measures light from each source and combines them with overall camera exposure readings - producing an accurate, well exposed photograph with balanced lighting. Each group within the wireless arrangement can also be programmed to different flash modes such as i-TTL AA, or Manual mode, or any combination of these modes. One of the most appealing features of Nikon's i-TTL wireless system is the ability to adjust flash compensation settings on the fly for each group of speedlights, from the Master Controller.
