Comme flash pratique

Modes de flash auto

Deux modes de flash auto sont possibles avec le SB-30: flash auto TTL et flash auto non-TTL.

Mode flash auto TTL

Ce mode est utilisable avec les reflex permettant le mode flash auto TTL. Au

moment où le déclencheur est pressé et le SB-30 se déclenche, le capteur

de flash auto TTL de l’appareil photo mesure à travers l’objectif la lumière du flash réfléchie par le sujet et, en fonction de cette donnée, ajuste l’intensité

de l’éclair du SB-30 pour obtenir une exposition correcte.

Pour connaître les appareils compatibles, reportez-vous à la section “Appareils photo utilisables et modes de flash disponibles” (p. 78).

Les modes de flash auto TTL disponibles comme le dosage automatique flash/ambiance par multi- capteur, le dosage automatique flash/ambiance par mesure matricielle, l’atténuation des ombres par flash en mesure pondérée centrale / spot ou le flash TTL standard dépendent de l’appareil et de l’objectif utilisés. Pour en savoir plus, reportez-vous au manuel d’utilisation de votre appareil photo.

Le dosage automatique flash/ambiance par multi-capteur 3D n’est pas possible car le SB-30 n’émet pas la série de pré-éclairs pilotes.

Le mode flash auto D-TTL n’est pas possible avec le SB-30.

SB-30 specifications

The Nikon SB-30 is a compact and versatile speedlight designed to enhance photography by providing additional light in various situations. Released as part of Nikon’s range of portable flash units, the SB-30 is particularly favored for its lightweight design and advanced features that cater to both amateur and professional photographers.

One of the main features of the SB-30 is its compatibility with a wide array of Nikon cameras. This compatibility ensures that the flash can seamlessly integrate with both film and digital models, making it a practical option for users with different systems. The SB-30 supports TTL (Through The Lens) metering, allowing precise exposure control. This technology measures the light reflected from the subject through the lens, adjusting the flash output to provide optimal lighting conditions.

The flash has a guide number of approximately 30 (in meters at ISO 100), which offers sufficient power for a variety of shooting scenarios, whether indoors or outdoors. The SB-30 is equipped with a tilting head that can be angled to bounce light off ceilings or walls, creating softer, more natural lighting effects. This feature is particularly useful in portrait photography, where harsh direct light can lead to unflattering shadows.

Another notable characteristic of the SB-30 is its ability to utilize advanced wireless communication. It can function as a master or slave unit in a multi-flash setup, allowing photographers to create more dynamic lighting scenarios. This flexibility enables creative control over lighting in complex compositions, making it an excellent choice for event and studio photography.

The SB-30 is powered by four AA batteries, which provide a reasonable number of flashes per charge, depending on usage. Its compact size makes it easy to carry, making it a convenient choice for photographers on the go. Additionally, the flash unit features a built-in diffuser and a wide-angle adapter, which enhance its versatility by allowing for softer light and wider coverage.

In conclusion, the Nikon SB-30 stands out with its combination of portability, advanced TTL functionality, and versatile lighting capabilities. Whether for casual shooting or professional work, the SB-30 remains a reliable choice for those looking to improve their photography with the power of external flash lighting.
