SB-800 and SB-600 Speedlights, 106 | Nikon COOLPIX8800 instruction

SB-800 and SB-600 Speedlights

Set the optional Speedlight to TTL mode. In this mode, SB-800 and SB-600 Speedlights will use monitor preﬂashes for i-TTL ﬂash control (Standard i-TTL ﬁll-ﬂash for Digital SLR). Note, however, that the camera does not support Advanced Wireless Lighting, auto FP high-speed sync, FV lock, or AF-assist for multi-area AF. See the Speedlight manual for more information.

Check the ﬂash-ready light on the optional Speedlight before shooting. When set to STBY (standby), the SB-800 and SB-600 will power on and off at the same time as the camera. If Normal is selected for Lens and the Speedlight is on, the ﬂash angle will change as the camera is zoomed in and out. If red-eye reduction ( 37) is in effect, the red-eye reduction lamp on the Speedlight will light and the camera will not emit red-eye reduction pre-ﬂashes.
