Troubleshooting

If the built-in wide-flash adapter is broken off accidentally

If the wide-flash adapter is subjected to a strong impact while set on the flash
head, it may be broken off. In this case, visit your nearest authorized Nikon
service center for repair.

• If the wide-flash adapter is broken off, it is no longer possible to set the zoom-head

position to anything other than 14mm. To adjust the zoom-head position, refer to the
Custom Settings “Zoom-head position setting if the built-in wide-flash adapter is broken
off accidentally” (p. 52).

Note

The SB-600 incorporates a microcomputer to control flash operations. In rare cases, the
SB-600 may not work properly even after fresh batteries are properly installed. If this
happens, replace the batteries while the SB-600’s power is turned on.

Cause

The SB-600 is not correctly attached to
the camera.

The shutter speed is set to M90, M250,
or B (bulb).

The shutter speed set is faster than the
flash sync speed.

The SB-600’s flash mode is set to TTL
auto flash.
