Auto FP High-Speed Sync

Enables fill-flash photography even in bright conditions at wide apertures with shallow depth of field unhindered by the standard 1/250 second flash sync. Once the mode is activated, the F6’s rapid flash synchronization makes avail- able shutter speeds faster than the camera’s flash sync speed.

Wide-Area AF-Assist Illuminator

Distance-Priority Manual Flash (SB-800 only)

In this mode, the SB-800 automatically controls light output according to the distance value and set aperture. This means that even when shooting at dif- ferent apertures, you can take pictures having the same exposure.

The master SB-800 attached to the F6 is fitted with an orange color filter for frontal illumination. Each of Group A’s two SB- 800s has a Diffusion Dome SW-10H attached, and provides illumination for the woman on the balcony, while Group B’s two SB-800s are each fitted with an orange color filter for illumination of the mariachis to the right.

Nikon Creative Lighting System

The Nikon F6, when used with equip- ment compatible with Nikon’s Creative Lighting System, supports a full range of the most advanced flash capabilities including i-TTL flash control. The system elevates Nikon’s flash control capabili- ties to unprecedented heights of preci- sion and performance.

Advanced Wireless Lighting

Wireless multiple flash can be per- formed just as easily as with an on-cam- era Speedlight, affording you the free- dom to explore the limitless creative potential of the system. You can also enjoy comprehensive control over scene lighting when using Nikon’s i-TTL Speedlights SB-800/SB-600/SB-R200 as

they can be separated into as many as four groups (the master* and three i- TTL Speedlight groups). Control inde- pendent flash mode settings and adjust- ment of compensation values for each group’s flash output level via the master. To pre-check a scene for illumination and shadows, there’s the Modeling Flash function. And each group can comprise as many Speedlights as you want, virtually putting you in total com- mand of background lighting.

*SU-800 can be used as a master to trigger remote unit. SB-600 or SB-R200 cannot be used as a master unit.

Modeling Flash

This is useful for checking illumination levels and the shadows cast on the sub- ject before actually taking the picture.

Advanced Wireless Lighting procedure

Flash mode and other types of information are transmitted from the master unit in the form of a series of low-level flash- es to each remote unit. In TTL mode, the camera’s RGB meter- ing sensor detects Monitor Pre-flashes to determine each flash unit’s flash output level.

The flash can fire up to approximately 3 seconds while the button is pressed.

Flash Value Lock (FV Lock)

Flash Value represents the degree of flash exposure for a given subject. Engaging FV Lock maintains the desired flash exposure during zooming or recomposition, allowing you to concen- trate on the scene’s lighting.

Wide-Area AF-Assist Illuminator can be used with all 11 focus areas to provide autofocus capability in dim lighting — even when you change the focus area.
