Nikon instruction manual Using the SB-800 with the COOLPIX

Using the SB-800 with the COOLPIX

For COOLPIX cameras, such as the COOLPIX 8800 and 4500, having an accessory shoe (hot-shoe) or TTL multiple flash terminal: When more powerful illumination is required or when performing multiple flash, it is recommended to connect the SB-800 or another Nikon Speedlight compatible with TTL auto flash to the COOLPIX. Auto flash operation is possible by setting the SB-800’s flash mode to TTL auto flash. The flash output level is controlled by detecting signals from the camera to determine when to start and stop firing. This is controlled by Standard i-TTL flash operation with COOLPIX cameras compatible with i-TTL and by Non-TTL operation with other COOLPIX cameras.

•For connection to COOLPIX cameras featuring hot shoe contacts such as the COOLPIX 8800, attach the Speedlight directly to the accessory shoe.

•Optional accessories such as the Multi-Flash Bracket Unit SK-E900 should be used for connection with COOLPIX cameras having a TTL multiple flash terminal but no hot-shoe contacts.

•For details, see your camera’s instruction manual.

Please note that wireless multiple flash using the COOLPIX’s built-in flash as a master flash unit and the SB-800 as a remote flash unit cannot be performed.
