Tips on using the Speedlight
Take trial shots
Take trial shots before photographing important occasions such as weddings or graduations.
Have Nikon spot-check your Speedlight regularly
Nikon recommends that you have your Speedlight serviced by an authorized dealer or service center at least once every 2 years.
Use your Speedlight with Nikon equipment
The Nikon Speedlight SB-500’s performance has been optimized for use with Nikon brand cameras/accessories including lenses. Cameras/ accessories made by other manufacturers may not meet Nikon’s criteria for specifications, and incompatible cameras/accessories could damage the SB-500’s components. Nikon cannot guarantee the SB-500’s performance when used with non-Nikon products.
