Flash Photography

The NIKON Autofocus SB-28D Speedlight has been specifically designed for DCS 600 Series cameras. This Speedlight retains all functionality of the NIKON SB-28 Speedlight and adds functionality developed specifically for your camera.

Most of the SB-28D functionality is described in the SB-28 instruction manual (included with your Speedlight) and you will need to refer to that manual. This chapter describes only the functionality specific to your camera.

Recommendations for Flash Photography

The following settings are recommended when you use flash photography.

For better quality images with a greater choice of f-stops, the following ISO settings are recommended:

DCS 620 and 620x: 200

DCS 660: 80

DCS 660M: 320

A (Aperture-Priority Auto) or P (Programmed Auto) exposure mode is recommended as your camera will automatically choose the appropriate f-stop in these modes.

You can also use S (Shutter-Priority Auto) or M (Manual) exposure mode, but be careful that your camera does not go beyond the usable f-stops in dark lighting conditions.

CAUTION:

Use only NIKON Speedlights. Other units may damage your camera’s electrical circuits due to incompatible voltage requirements, electrical contact alignment, or switch phase. Your camera is not compatible with voltages of 250V or higher.

TTL flash is NOT recommended with your camera. Be aware that some flash units default to TTL, and you will need to change the mode.
