The built-in AF-assist illuminator can be used with all of the D2X’s eleven focus areas. For bounce-flash or close-up photography, the flash 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 fine-tuning all aspects of flash operation.
