Nikon D2H dimensions NEW Creative Lighting System

LCD monitor

An entirely new generation of Speedlight System was

developed to realize the full potential of the D2H

When used with the new SB-800 Speedlight,

the new Creative Lighting System delivers enough new features and possibilities

that it takes a new generation of camera to completely tap the potential.

The Total Imaging System just took a large step forward.

New Creative Lighting System

New Speedlight SB-800 with wireless i-TTL flash control evolves the technology beyond the D-TTL of the D1 series, and introduces features that include Advanced Wireless Lighting -- wireless remote control over multiple flashes, Flash Value Lock (FV Lock), AUTO FP High-Speed Sync, and Flash Color Information Communication. Also new is the Wide Area AF Assist Illuminator that is tailored to the new D2H's 11-area Multi-CAM 2000 AF Sensor Module. Additional features include a built-in wide flash adapter for 14mm wideangle lens coverage, GN 38/53 (ISO 100/200, at 35mm), and flash coverage from 35mm up 105mm in 5mm zoom steps when using the Auto Zoom function.

Nikon's i-TTL technology introduces an improved method for the monitor pre-flash. It also adopts an advanced new data communication protocol, improves the S/N ratio, improves accuracy of measurement when using bounce, and it features wireless operation. The D2H is optimized to take full advantage of the new i-TTL system.

Automatic balanced i-TTL fill flash

The brighter, shorter pre-flash scheme realized by i-TTL improves the accuracy of the monitor pre-flash used by the system's AE Sensor to evaluate flash exposure and perform an automatic balanced flash that delivers outstanding results and new creative possibilities.

Advanced Wireless Lighting

(Wireless remote multi-flash)

Up to 4 groups of SB-800s can be operated for total lighting control, including the Master Controller and 3 remote groups, with each group consisting of any number of SB-800s. The master unit and individual groups can be set to different modes, (i-TTL, AA, A, or M), and the differences in brightness on the surface of the subject can be set for the master and for each remote Speedlight, so the flash output ratio can be set regardless of the distance to the subject after the remote is

repositioned. These settings are made and confirmed on the Master Controller's large dot-matrix LCD with easy-to-see graphics. A choice of four frequency channels prevents interference with other photographers, or one SB-800 from triggering others.

One important feature of the new system is that the flash compensation can be adjusted on the fly for each group, including the Master Controller. Additionally, this wireless system can be set up without the hassle of add-on accessories such as cables or stands. Multi-flash photography can be as easy to use as a single Speedlight mounted on a camera. And, with a little practice, it can be exploited to produce a limitless number of effects.

Flash Color Information

The SB-800 realizes a new high level of color accuracy when used with the D2H. When in Auto White Balance mode, flash color information from the master SB-800 attached to the D2H is transmitted to the camera's body. Flash color information varies

depending on voltage, flash duration and such. Data on each of these details is transmitted to the camera body and used in achieving optimum white balance.

FV Lock

FV Lock (Flash Value Lock) is the flash equivalent of AE Lock. It maintains the measured flash value once the light meter is used to obtain a correct flash exposure reading for a key part of the subject. The photographer can then change the compensation while achieving the appropriate flash value for the subject.

AUTO FP High-Speed Sync

When activated via Custom Setting "e1" on the D2H, Auto FP automatically fires in TTL Auto or A-A (as well as Manual) modes at shutter speeds up to 1/8,000 second to provide ample fill-in flash in bright light and with fast aperture lenses. The ability to shoot with the aperture open wide means effective blur can be achieved in the background.
