♦SB-600: This high performance Speedlight has a Guide Number of
42/138 (m/ft, 35-mm zoom head position, ISO 200; GN at ISO 100
is 30/98) and supports i-TTL, TTL, and manual fl ash control. Flash
sync mode, including slow and rear-curtain sync, can be set from the
camera. When used with the D2Hs, the SB-600 supports Auto FP
High-Speed Sync for sync speeds faster than ½
50
s, Flash Color Infor-
mation Communication for optimal white balance, and FV Lock for
recomposing photos without changing fl ash level. With an SB-800
acting as a master fl ash, Advanced Wireless Lighting allows the SB-
600 to serve as a remote slave fl ash in i-TTL and manual fl ash control
modes. The built-in AF-assist illuminator can be used with all of the
D2Hs’s eleven focus areas. For bounce-fl ash or close-up photogra-
phy, the fl ash head can be rotated through 90 ° above the horizontal,
180 ° left, and 90 ° right. Auto power zoom (24–85 mm) ensures
that the illuminating is adjusted in accord with lens focal length. The
built-in wide panel can be used for an illuminating angle of 14 mm.
An illuminator is included to assist in adjusting settings in the dark.
The SB-600 accepts four AA batteries (see the Speedlight manual for
details). Custom settings are available for fi ne-tuning all aspects of
fl ash operation.
