The D200 is equipped with an accessory shoe that allows
SB-series Speedlights, including the SB-800, 600, 80DX,
50DX, 28DX, 28, 27, 23, 22S, and 29S to be mounted di-
rectly on the camera without a sync cable. The accessory
shoe is equipped with a safety lock for Speedlights with a
locking pin, such as the SB-800 and SB-600.

The Accessory Shoe

ISO Sensitivity (SB-800/SB-600)

When used with optional SB-800 and SB-600 Speedlights, i-TTL fl ash control can adjust for
ISO sensitivities between 100 and 1600. It may not be able to adjust fl ash level appropri-
ately for values over 1600. When On is selected for Custom Setting b1 (ISO Auto;

152),

ISO sensitivity will automatically be adjusted as required for optimal fl ash output. This may
result in foreground subjects being underexposed in fl ash photographs taken at slow shut-
ter speeds, in daylight, or against a bright background. In these cases, choose a fl ash mode
other than slow sync or select mode A or M and choose a larger aperture.

A sync cable can be connected to the sync terminal as
required. Do not connect another Speedlight via a sync
cable when performing rear-curtain sync fl ash photogra-
phy with an SB-series Speedlights such as the 800, 600,
80DX, 28DX, 28, 50DX, 27, 23, 22s, or 29s mounted on the
camera accessory shoe.
