Data Back MF-29 allows you to imprint the desired data — year/month/day, month/day/year, day/month/year, day/hour/minute — or leave the film blank. See page 66 for details on attaching Data Back MF-29 in place of the camera back.

Speedlight SB-80DX

Speedlight SB-80DX normally uses four AA-type alkaline-manganese batteries with a guide number of 38/125 (manual flash, 35mm zoom-head position, ISO 100, m/ft., 20°C/68°F).

3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash, which enables natural-looking overall exposures and a better balance between ambient light and the fill-flash (even when a highly reflective object is located within the frame or the background is non-reflective), is compatible with the SB-80DX. Also, the SB-80DX’s AF Assist Illuminator enables autofocus operation in a dark environment (cancelable).

Automatic power zoom continuously changes the zoom-head position according to the lens’ focal length.

A variety of flashes, including Slow Sync, Rear-Curtain Sync, non-TTL auto flash, manual flash, Repeating Flash, FP High-Speed Sync Flash and Wireless Slave Flash are compatible with the SB-80DX. Also, optional external power source SD-7 and SD-8A or Power Bracket SK-6A can be used with the SB-80DX.

Speedlight SB-27 normally uses four AA-type alkaline-manganese batteries with a guide number of 30/98 (manual flash, 35mm zoom-head position, ISO 100, m/ft., 20°C/68°F).

Compact and lightweight, the SB-27’s flash head rotates from the horizontal to the vertical position along a 180° arc to control the effect of shadows.

With the built-in bounce flash adapter, bounce flash operation is possible. And, with a diffuser card, by bouncing the light off the ceiling or walls, you can soften the shadows and produce more natural portraits or close-up photographs. Bounce flash can also make your subject’s eyes appear more vibrant.

3D Multi-Sensor Balanced Fill-Flash, Standard TTL Flash, manual flash output level compensation, non-TTL auto flash and manual flash are compatible with the SB-27.

The SB-27’s AF-Assist Illuminator enables autofocus operation in a dark environment.

Wireless Slave Flash Controller SU-4

TTL multi-flash, where a Speedlight to which Wireless Slave Flash Controller SU-4 is attached is fired simultaneously with the Speedlight attached to the F100, can also be used.
